Those still eligible for a spring booster urged to come forward
People who still need a spring booster vaccination have been urged to come forward as soon as practically possible.
The NHS has now invited everyone eligible for this dose, more than 5 million, including all aged 75 years and over, those aged 12 years and over with a weakened immune system and residents in older adult care homes.
More than 4 million have already had their jab. Anyone who still needs one is encouraged to visit the National Booking Service, call 119 or find a convenient local walk-in site.
Getting the jab as early as possible will allow more time before a further autumn dose to extend protection over winter, and will give better protection against any potential resurgence in infection levels.
