The next stage of the Covid vaccination programme begins on Monday, April 17 before the programme comes to an end in June. The NHS says this latest vaccination, is being offered to those considered most at risk, following advice from the Joint Committee of Vaccination and Immunisation.
Health officials say the latest vaccine programme will give added protection to those over the age of 75 and those with weakened immune systems. More than 240 clinics in the East Midlands will be open and offering vaccinations to those who are eligible.
The last spring vaccination appointments will be offered on June 30. The NHS says Covid-19 vaccinations for everyone who was aged five on or before 31 August 2022 will also end after that date, following recent advice from the JCVI. After 30 June, the NHS offer will become more targeted to those at increased risk, usually during seasonal campaigns.
