Get ready for the Spring 2026 COVID-19 booster
Spring COVID‑19 vaccinations
Spring is a good time to refresh your protection if you’re more at risk from COVID‑19. The spring booster helps to top up your immunity and lowers the risk of becoming seriously unwell.
The spring vaccination programme runs from 13 April to 30 June 2026.
Who can have the spring booster?
The spring booster is offered to people who are more likely to get seriously ill from the virus, you will be eligible if you:
- Are aged 75 or over (including anyone turning 75 before 30 June 2026)
- Live in an care home for older adults
- Are aged 6 months to 74 years and have a weakened immune system (for example, due to a health condition or treatment like chemotherapy)
Why the booster matters
Immunity reduces over time, even if you’ve had COVID‑19 or previous doses. The spring vaccination can:
- Lower your chance of becoming seriously unwell
- Help you recover more quickly if you do catch the virus
- Reduce the risk of needing hospital care
