Who can receive a Spring 2024 Covid booster vaccination?
The government determines who is eligible to receive a Covid vaccination. We will contact you directly if you are:
- aged 75 years and over
- aged over 6 months and immunosuppressed*
- are housebound or live in a residential care home for older adults.
* What is meant by “immunosuppression“
Immunosuppression means you have a “severely weakened” immune system due to a particular health condition or because you are on medication or treatment that suppresses your immune system. Further guidance for people who are immunosuppressed:
Patients with asthma will not usually be eligible to receive this Spring booster vaccination
A small number of patients who have received high dose steroids (equivalent to more than 40mg prednisolone per day for more than a week) for any reason in the month before vaccination may qualify.
Housebound patients and patients living in residential care homes for older adults
We will arrange to visit patients who are housebound or in a residential care home for older adults from 15th April.
