Vulnerable residents urged to protect themselves against Covid
The NHS is urging those most at risk of serious illness from Covid-19 to come forward for a vaccination this spring.
If you are eligible for a vaccine, you will receive an invitation from the NHS. Those eligible include:
- adults aged 75 years and over
- residents in a care home for older adults
- people aged six months and over who have a weakened immune system.
Appointments can be booked on online, via the NHS App or by calling 119 for free from Tuesday, 7 April.
The spring vaccination programme will end on 30 June 2026.
It’s important to top up your protection against Covid-19, as viruses change and protection fades over time.
Getting vaccinated will help to reduce the risk of getting severe symptoms and help you recover more quickly
