Who is eligible for a Covid booster as people urged to get a jab now

People who are eligible are being urged to take up the offer of a further coronavirus booster this Spring.

Adults aged 75 years and over (or turning 75 by the end of June), residents in a care home for older adults and those aged 5 years and over who are immunosuppressed – such as those who are undergoing chemotherapy or have had an organ transplant – are entitled to have a further Covid booster jab from mid-April onwards.

The jabs have been updated since the vaccines were introduced to now target newer strains of Covid-19.
