Latest update: 21 October 2026
The Covid-19 seasonal vaccines are offered because viruses change and protection fades over time. It's important to top up your protection if you're eligible.
Getting the Covid-19 vaccine can help reduce your risk of getting severe symptoms, help you recover more quickly if you catch Covid-19, help protect against different types of the virus and help reduce your risk of having to go to hospital or dying from Covid-19.
Autumn Covid-19 vaccinations are now being offered to the following groups of people:
- Adults aged 75 years and over
- Residents in care homes for older adults
- Individuals aged 6 months and over who are immunosuppressed
If you're eligible for the Covid-19 vaccine, the NHS will contact you with information about how to access appointments. Find out more about who is eligible for the Autumn vaccine programme from the UKHA.
