Spring COVID-19 Vaccination Campaign 2026: Protect Yourself and Those Around You

This spring, eligible patients are invited to receive their COVID-19 booster vaccination to maintain protection against serious illness.

The Spring COVID-19 vaccination programme will run from 13 April 2026 until 30 June 2026, helping those most at risk stay protected as immunity from previous vaccines naturally decreases over time.

Appointments can be booked from 7 April 2026, giving patients plenty of time to arrange their vaccination.

Who Is Eligible for the Spring COVID-19 Vaccine?

The spring booster is offered to individuals who are at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19. You may be eligible if you are:

• Adults aged 75 years and over

• Residents in a care home for older adults

• Individuals aged 6 months and over who are immunosuppressed

  
  

If you fall into one of these groups, receiving the spring booster can help strengthen your protection against the virus.

Why the Spring Booster Is Important

Although many people have already received previous COVID-19 vaccinations, immunity can reduce over time. The spring booster helps to:

• Boost your immune response

• Reduce the risk of severe illness and hospitalisation

• Provide additional protection for vulnerable individuals

• Help reduce the spread of infection in the community

  
  

For older adults and those with weakened immune systems, staying up to date with vaccinations remains one of the most effective ways to protect health.
