11-day Covid warning as vaccination programme draws to a close

More than 350,000 people have had their Covid-19 autumn booster in Nottingham and the surrounding county. If you are eligible but have not yet stepped forward to claim the autumn 2022 jab, time is running out. The vaccination programme comes to an end on February 12.

According to the Department for Health and Social Care, while boosters are still expected to be offered in spring and autumn 2023 for people in certain groups - those at higher risk of severe disease, for instance - the autumn programme and the initial booster rollout for 16 to 49-year-olds will come to an end.

In a tweet, the department announced: "We're changing the Covid vaccination programme for 2023 after advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination & Immunisation (JCVI). The current autumn booster & some initial boosters end in England on 12 February so please come forward if eligible."
