Spring 2025  Covid vaccine eligibility

People aged 75 years and older, residents in care homes for older people, and those aged 6 months and over with a weakened immune system will be offered a dose of COVID-19 vaccine this spring.

COVID-19 is more serious in older people and in people with certain underlying health conditions. For these reasons, people aged 75 years and over, those in care homes, and those aged 6 months and over with a weakened immune system are being offered a spring dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

Timing of the spring vaccine

You should be offered an appointment between April and June, with those at highest risk being called in first. You will be invited to have your booster around 6 months after your last dose, but you can have it as soon as 3 months.

If you are turning 75 years of age between April and June, you do not have to wait until your birthday, you can attend when you are called for vaccination.

You will be invited for your booster and you can book using the NHS app for Apple or Android. You can also find your nearest walk-in vaccination site from the NHS website.

For housebound patients aged 75 and over the surgery will arrange for your vaccination at home.

NHS vaccinations and when to have them 

Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent many infectious diseases and it is important that vaccines are given on time for the best protection but if you or your child has missed a vaccination then please contact the surgery to make a catch up appointment.

A full list of current NHS vaccinations for all ages is in the NHS vaccination section of the website.
