Spring/ Summer 2025
What the COVID-19 vaccine is for
COVID-19 vaccination is an important part of protecting yourself if you’re at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19.
The COVID-19 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:
- protect against different types of COVID-19 virus
- help reduce your risk of getting severe symptoms
- help you recover more quickly if you catch COVID-19
- help reduce your risk of having to go to hospital or dying from COVID-19
Who should have the COVID-19 vaccine
The COVID-19 vaccine is recommended for people at increased risk from COVID-19.
You may be offered a COVID-19 vaccine in spring if you:
live in a care home for older adults
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
How to get the COVID-19 vaccine
The NHS will contact you if you’re eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.
It’s usually offered on the NHS in spring and early winter.
When the COVID-19 vaccine is available, there will be different ways to get the vaccine. You may be able to:
- get vaccinated at your care home (if you live in a care home)
- book online
- go to a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination site
- get vaccinated at a local service, such as a community pharmacy or your GP surgery
