Millions to be offered Covid-19 vaccine autumn booster as booking set to open

The latest Covid-19 booster is being rolled out and millions of people are in line to receive the autumn jab. Those aged 75 and over, people who are immunosuppressed, and health and care workers will be among the first to be able to book.

As the vaccination programme moves to the next phase, it is those in care homes across the East Midlands who are being offered the booster first, with teams heading out to around 200 care homes across the region from Monday, September 5. From Wednesday, September 7, over two million people in other groups will receive their invitations to either book online or call 119.

The NHS says it will contact people when it is their turn – you do not need to contact the NHS. Invites will be landing on doormats across the region from Wednesday with people able to book their appointment for the following week.
