COVID-19 Vaccine – Spring Dose
In February, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advised a spring dose (www.gov.uk – Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) statement on COVID-19 vaccinations in 2022: 21 February 2022) of the COVID-19 vaccine for:
Adults aged 75 years and over
Residents in care homes for older adults
Individuals aged 12 years and over who have a weakened immune system
The NHS will contact those who are eligible to make a spring booster appointment, so people should wait until they hear from the NHS. The NHS will prioritise those whose clinical need is greatest, as it has throughout, starting with those who have had a bigger gap since their last dose, then working through the cohort to invite others who have waited less time. Everyone who is eligible will be offered a top up between three and six months over the Spring and early Summer.
