Simple question which so far doesn't appear to have a simple answer.
Are there plans for a further Covid Booster programme for elderly and vulnerable groups? If so, who will administer it?
I had my last jab in Sept. 2023.
Advice on spring 2024 vaccination
In spring 2024, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advises that a COVID-19 vaccine should be offered to:
- 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)
This should be offered around 6 months after the last vaccine dose, although operational flexibility around the timing of the spring dose in relation to the last vaccine dose is considered appropriate (with a minimum interval of 3 months between doses).
