NHS Opens Spring Covid Booster Bookings for Over-75s and Clinically Vulnerable

Officials urge quick uptake due to waning immunity.

Overview

  • Eligible people in England can book spring booster appointments immediately without waiting for an invitation.
  • Those aged 75 and over, older care‑home residents, and people with weakened immune systems qualify for the jab.
  • Appointments are available through the NHS App, the NHS website, walk‑in sites, GP practices, community pharmacies, and by calling 119.
  • NHS vaccination leaders warn that protection fades over time and note that Covid circulates year‑round, posing higher risks to older or vulnerable people.
  • Tens of thousands of daily slots are open, and recent inquiry findings praising the UK’s vaccine rollout could help bolster confidence as the campaign gets underway.
