COVID-19 Autumn Booster now available
From today (7th September 2022), around four million people most vulnerable to COVID-19 will start to be invited to book in their autumn booster vaccine as the NHS' National Booking Service launches appointments for Autumn boosters.
Online booking for autumn Covid boosters is now open for people who are:
- aged 75 and over
- immunosuppressed
- frontline health and social care workers
You can book your vaccination by visiting https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/
Other eligible groups should wait to be contacted by the NHS.
You can have your seasonal booster (autumn booster) if it's been at least 3 months since you had your previous dose. If you have not had a 1st or 2nd dose of the COVID-19 vaccine yet, you should have them as soon as possible. If you have a severely weakened immune system you should get an additional primary dose before you get a booster.
The NHS will also be rolling out the flu vaccine and encouraging eligible people to take up the offer where possible. Eligible individuals may be offered the flu and COVID jab at the same time subject to supply, with the doses approved to be co-administered.
