Latest update: 14 April 2026
The Covid-19 seasonal vaccines are offered because viruses change and protection fades over time. It's important to top up your protection if you're eligible.
Getting the Covid-19 vaccine can help reduce your risk of getting severe symptoms, help you recover more quickly if you catch Covid-19, help protect against different types of the virus and help reduce your risk of having to go to hospital or dying from Covid-19.
Spring Covid-19 vaccinations are now being offered to the following groups of people:
- people aged 75 or over (including those who will be 75 by 30 June 2026)
- people aged 6 months to 74 years who have a weakened immune system because of a health condition or treatment
- people who live in a care home for older adults
If you're eligible for the Covid-19 vaccine, the NHS will contact you with information about how to access appointments.
