Information on Covid-19 vaccine boosters
Who is eligible for the COVID-19 booster vaccine?
The following people should be offered a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in the same order as the first part of the vaccination programme.
- 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 (as set out in the green book), and adult carers
- adult household contacts of immunosuppressed individuals
The JCVI advises that the booster vaccine dose should be offered no earlier than 182 days (that’s usually slightly more than 6 months) after completion of the first course of vaccination.
