The following groups of people are eligible for a Covid booster:
- Anyone over 75
- People living in a care home for older people
- Anyone under 75 who is SEVERELY IMMUNOSUPPRESSED.
Please note: those who have conditions which mean they are categorised 'at risk' medically are not eligible for the 2024 spring booster unless they have a condition that means their immune system is weakened. For government guidance on those who are immunosuppressed click HERE
If you are turning 75 years of age between April and June 2024, you do not have to wait until your birthday, you can attend when you are called for vaccination.
