People aged 65 and over can now book their Covid-19 booster jab online or via 111. The NHS is also offering appointments to carers and pregnant women as the vaccine rollout continues into the cooler months.
People aged 75 and over, the severely immunosuppressed and frontline health and care workers have been able to book a booster since last week. Bookings can be done online or over the phone as long as the person had their last Covid jab at least three months ago.
Around 26 million people in England will be eligible for an autumn booster in the comings weeks. NHS director of vaccinations and screening Steve Russell said: “There is no room for complacency in keeping Covid-19 on the back foot and this autumn booster will help protect those most at risk.
