🌼 Spring COVID Booster 2026 🌼

As we move into spring, we want to support our patients in staying healthy and protected. COVID-19 is still circulating, and for those at higher risk, a spring “booster” dose offers important extra protection.
The NHS spring vaccination programme begins April 2026, and we’re pleased to confirm that our first clinic will take place at our main site on the 13th April 2026.

✔ Who can get the spring booster?
The booster is recommended for those most likely to become seriously unwell from COVID-19:
• Anyone aged 75 or over (including those turning 75 before 30 June 2026)
• People living in older adult care homes
• Those aged 6 months or over with a weakened immune system, whether due to a health condition or treatments such as chemotherapy

✔ Why should I get the booster?
Protection from previous vaccines or infections reduces over time, and the virus continues to evolve. A spring booster helps to:
• Reduce your risk of becoming seriously ill
• Support a quicker recovery if you do catch the virus
• Lower the likelihood of needing hospital care

Please see the latest guidance in relation to the meningitis outbreak.

Patients born after September 2015 will be covered for the vaccination if they had their immunisations.
If your child was born after this time and has not had the vaccination they can have this as a catch up vaccination.

Anyone not covered is not currently eligible for this vaccination.

We are not in an at-risk area at present.

The government will update us if there is any change to this.

There is currently an outbreak of meningococcal disease (MenB) in Kent. This blog post includes information on MenB and this outbreak, what to do if you are affected and where you can get antibiotics and who is being offered a vaccine.
