Covid boosters start

by Claire Young on 18 September, 2023

Invites have started going out for the Covid booster. The latest vaccine programme has been brought forward following guidance on the risks presented by the new BA.2.86 variant. Residents of older adult care homes and those most at risk, including those who are immunosuppressed, will receive their vaccine first. Carers, pregnant women and health and social care staff will then be offered a booster, as well as adults aged 65 and over. Wherever possible, vaccinations for flu and Covid will still be offered at the same time. If eligible, you will be contacted when it is your turn. You can read more on the NHS England website.
