NHS Frimley is encouraging people to come forward for their covid booster before the offer, part of the biggest and most successful programme in health history, ends this month.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has advised that, thanks to the success of the programme, the seasonal booster dose should end when the autumn campaign ends, which will be on Sunday 12 February 2023.
The JCVI has also advised that the offer of the 1st COVID booster for all 16 to 49-year-olds, who are not considered at risk, will also end at the same time.
For more information on how to book a vaccination if eligible, please visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/.
The JCVI will set out further guidance on who will be eligible for COVID vaccines in future phases of the programme, such as any spring campaign as well as next autumn’s, in due course.
The NHS is also prepared to move quickly to roll out a potential spring campaign, as well as another autumn campaign later this year, and will set out operational plans once further guidance is received.
