COVID Vaccinations

The COVID-19 vaccination helps protect against COVID-19, which can be a serious or life-threatening illness for some people. It’s usually offered on the NHS in spring and early winter to people who need extra protection from COVID-19.

You may be offered a COVID-19 vaccine in spring 2026 if you:

• are aged 75 or over.
• are aged 6 months to 74 years and have a weakened immune system because of a health condition or treatment.
• live in a care home for older adults

Those who are at risk will include:

• Organ, bone marrow or stem cell transplant patients
• Those being treated with systemic steroids for more than a month
• Those living with HIV
• Those receiving immunosuppressive or immunomodulating biological therapy, including children who are about to receive therapy
• Those undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy
• Those requiring long-term treatment for immunosuppression
• Those with a history of haematological malignancy including chronic leukaemia, lymphomas, and leukaemia
• Those with genetic disorders affecting the immune system

Covid Booster 2026 UK

For 2026, the UK continues to offer COVID-19 booster jabs. These supplementary doses aim to sustain and strengthen immunity against emerging variants. This proactive approach helps in combating variants and ensures ongoing protection in  the face of evolving COVID challenges. Access is convenient through NHS services or through our vaccination booking page.

Booking a Covid Booster

In the UK, booking a COVID-19 booster jab is easy. Eligible individuals can book online via our website. Boosters are recommended to enhance immunity, especially for vulnerable groups. Appointments are widely available at our vaccination sites ensuring convenient access for all.

Who Will be offered a Booster Jab

People at greatest risk of serious illness from Covid, including care home residents, over 65s and frontline health and social care workers, are eligible for an Autumn vaccine booster. Booster Jabs are an additional dose of a COVID vaccination, given around 6 months after the initial vaccination course is completed. This is to help extend the protection offered by the first two doses, as there is some evidence that the effectiveness of the vaccine wanes over time. We will support NHS England to deliver the COVID vaccinations and will be offering these in store. A booster vaccination will be offered to those who have had their second COVID vaccination 6 or more months ago and who are at higher risk of getting seriously ill from COVID, or who are more likely to come into contact with other people with COVID, to ensure they have increased protection from the virus. These groups of people will include:

• People aged 50 and over
• People who live and work in care homes
• Frontline health and social care workers
• People aged 16 and over who are at high risk of getting seriously ill from COVID
• Carers aged 16 and over
• People aged 16 and over who live with someone who are at high risk of getting seriously ill from COVID
