Final advice on booster vaccines has been issued by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).

Booster vaccines will be offered to:

• those living in residential care homes for older adults
• all adults aged 50 years or over
• frontline health and social care workers
• all those aged 16 to 49 years with underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk of severe COVID-19, and adult carers 

and

• adult household contacts of immunosuppressed individuals

How and when to get your COVID-19 booster vaccine

Based on JCVI advice, the booster dose should only be given at least six months after an individual received their second primary dose.  Therefore you will only become eligible to receive the booster when you pass the six month mark from receipt of your second vaccination.

If you're eligible, you can book a vaccination appointment at a participating pharmacy below or wait for your GP to call you.

Trust vaccination teams will vaccinate care home staff and residents, as well as their own frontline staff.

Community pharmacies will vaccinate non-Trust employed frontline health care staff.
