Vaccine eligibility
Who can get the COVID-19 vaccine?
Anyone aged five years old and over can get a first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine (primary COVID-19 vaccination course).
A booster dose is now available to key age groups:
- A first booster for everyone aged 16 and over, and some children aged 12 to 15, once they have completed their primary COVID-19 vaccination course
- A seasonal booster (winter booster) for some people, including those aged 50 and over, those at higher risk or who are pregnant, and frontline health and social care workers
- If you’ve not had a first booster dose yet, you’re still eligible and can book anytime. If you’re eligible for both, you only need one booster during the winter.
