COVID-19 BOOSTER DOSES
The protection from previous doses or a COVID-19 infection may weaken over time. Booster doses help boost your antibodies and give you good protection from becoming seriously ill or needing to go to hospital if you get COVID-19.
A first booster is recommended for all adults age 18 years and older. After this, seasonal boosters are recommended for some people.
How long to wait
Wait 6 months after your last COVID-19 vaccine or COVID-19 infection.
For people who need protection sooner, you can get your booster 3 months after your last COVID-19 vaccine or infection.
COVID-19 Spring Booster Campaign
We can provide a booster dose this Spring if you are:
- 80 or older
- 12 years or older with a weak immune system
- 70 to 79 and did not get a COVID-19 vaccine in the previous 12 months
If you are eligible for a spring booster vaccine, you should wait at least 3 months since your last COVID-19 vaccination or COVID-19 infection before getting it. Ask your GP or pharmacist for advice.
You will be offered the Comirnaty® KP.2 vaccine as a booster dose. This is an mRNA vaccine.
Appointments for the Spring Booster programme will begin opening over the coming weeks.
