NHS Vaccination Information

Welcome to our North West NHS vaccination information page where you can find the latest information on vaccines, eligibility and the latest developments in the vaccination programmes.

COVID-19 vaccination: 

  • The 2024 Spring COVID-19 programme closed on 30 June.
  • COVID-19 vaccines are normally given seasonally, but some people with a severely weakened immune system may need additional protection at other times. This may be because of a health condition or medical treatment.
  • Your specialist or GP will assess if you or your child (aged 6 months or over) need a COVID-19 vaccine. They should let you know when to get vaccinated and help you find a local appointment. Speak to your specialist or GP for advice.
  • Some people at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19 may be able to get a seasonal COVID-19 vaccine later in 2024. The NHS will contact you if your NHS record suggests you may be eligible.

Flu vaccination:

  • The flu vaccine helps protect against flu, which can be a serious or life-threatening illness.
  • It’s offered on the NHS every year in autumn or early winter to people at higher risk of getting seriously ill from flu.
