COVID-19 and flu vaccinations

These pages contain information about COVID-19 and flu vaccinations. 

This informaton was updated on 27 February 2024.

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has now announced its advice to Government for the COVID-19 vaccine programme in spring this year, which includes updated eligibility criteria. 

JCVI advises the following groups to be offered a COVID-19 vaccine in spring 2024:

  • Adults aged 75 years and over.
  • Residents in a care home for older adults.
  • Individuals aged 6 months and over who are immunosuppressed (as defined in tables 3 or 4 in the COVID-19 chapter of the Green Book).

We will update these webpages with information about how and when eligible people can access the spring vaccine in due course. We expect that vaccinations will be available in late April 2024.
