Spring COVID-19 vaccine 2026
People taking certain immunosuppressant medicines may not get full protection from COVID-19 vaccines or lose protection faster. Extra vaccine doses can increase their protection. These are known as boosters. If you’re at higher risk of COVID-19, consider having your COVID-19 vaccine boosters when you’re offered them. This is the best way to reduce your risk of severe COVID-19.
The COVID-19 spring vaccine will be offered to those at highest risk from April 2026. This includes people who are:
- Aged over 6 months and immunosuppressed
- Aged 75 years and over
- Living in a care home for older adults
