NHS COVID vaccines have saved
countless lives, and helped us to live with the virus without fear or
restrictions. There are two main changes to the vaccination offer, we need to make our communities aware of:
- This spring, the NHS is offering a further vaccination to those at highest risk of severe illness from COVID. This is people aged 75 and over (by 30 June 2023), people with a weakened immune system, and residents of care homes for older adults.
- 30 June 2023 is the end date of the current offer of
first and second COVID vaccinations for everyone aged 5 on or before 31 August last year.
Anyone who hasn’t had any COVID-19 vaccinations, but would like to have
both their first and second does, needs to book and have their first or
second dose on our before 30 June 2023. After 30
June 2023, you will not be able to get your first or second dose unless
you are at higher risk from severe COVID-19.
Those who are eligible for a COVID vaccination can book
using the NHS App or visit nhs.uk/CovidVaccination or call
119 for free.
