Be wise – immunise. Get the extra protection you need this Spring.

April 15, 2025

Protection against COVID-19 fades over time, so everyone aged 75 or over, including people who turn 75 by 30 June 2024, or anyone aged 6 months or over who is immunosuppressed, can get a free vaccine.

How to book

If you’re aged 75 or over, or aged six months or over and are immunosuppressed, there are lots of ways you can book your COVID-19 vaccine:

  • You can book at a participating GP practice or local pharmacy
  • Your GP may contact you to arrange a vaccination appointment
  • You can book through the NHS app or NHS website, which also lists any available walk-in sites that don’t require an appointment. If you’re unable to book online, you can use the free 119 number to book at the same sites — translators are available if you need one.

Immunosuppressed?

If you’re immunosuppressed, your protection against COVID-19 may fade more quickly than other people’s. The spring COVID-19 vaccine can give you the extra protection you need.

You may be eligible for the vaccine if you have a disorder affecting your immune system, are undergoing immunosuppressive treatment, such as for cancer, or are taking medication that increases your risk of infection. You can check the list of health conditions, treatments and medications that can cause immunosuppression on the NHS website at www.nhs.uk
