💉Get ready for Spring 2026 COVID-19 booster if eligible

As we move into spring, we want to help our patients stay healthy and protected. COVID-19 is still with us, and for those at higher risk, a “booster” dose helps top up your protection.

The NHS spring vaccination programme starts mid April 2026.

💉Who can get the spring booster?
- The booster is offered to people who are most likely to get seriously ill from the virus. You are eligible if you are:
- Aged 75 or over (or if you turn 75 by 30 June 2026)
- Living in a care home for older adults
- Aged 6 months or over with a weakened immune system (for example, due to a health condition or treatment like chemotherapy).

❓Why should I get the booster?
Protection from previous doses or infections fades over time. Viruses can also change. Getting this extra dose:
- Reduces your risk of getting very poorly
- Helps you recover faster if you do catch it
- Reduces the chance of needing to go to hospital.

How to get your vaccination
The NHS and the Practice will contact you if you’re eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.

We will have appointments available during the week and weekend.
Please support the Practice by having your COVID vaccination with us.

What you need to know
Please try to leave at least six months since your last COVID-19 dose. If you have any questions about whether you should have the vaccine, speak to your local pharmacist or your specialist team.

For more details on the vaccine and its benefits, please visit the NHS.uk COVID-19 vaccine page.
