How do I get a COVID vaccine?

 A Winter COVID vaccine is available from October 2024 for people who:

• are aged 65 or over (including those who will be 65 by 31 March 2025)
• have certain health conditions
• are pregnant
• are a frontline health or social care worker
• live in a care home for older adults

If you’re eligible for the winter COVID-19 vaccine, you can:

• book a COVID-19 vaccination appointment online or in the NHS App – you need to book your vaccination before 20 December 2024
• go to a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination site

Some people may be able to get vaccinated through a local service, such as a community pharmacy or your GP surgery, or a care home if they live in a care home.

You do not need to wait for an invitation before booking an appointment.
