Spring top-up, COVID-19 seasonal vaccination programme

April 01, 2025

The NHS spring booster campaign is offering free Covid jab to groups of vulnerable patients across the UK.

Around 7.5 million people in England are eligible for a top-up vaccination. Many pharmacies also sell the Covid jab privately.

You will be eligible for a free top-up vaccination, if you are:

75 years and over
a resident in a care home for older adults
or 6 months and older and have a condition that means you are immunosuppressed
(not sure if this is you - see tables 3 and 4 of the Greenbook chapter 14a).

COVID-19 is serious at any time of the year, especially for those who are most vulnerable.

For this group it is recommended that you have two vaccinations a year - one every six months for the best protection.

This springs COVID-19 vaccination offer is free and runs from Tuesday 1 April and Tuesday 17 June 2025.

You can book a vaccine online using the national booking system (NBS)
Or visit one of our walk-in sites listed below from Tuesday 1 April 2025.
