Children aged 5 to 11 are now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine

If you’re a parent or guardian, you can now book an appointment for a COVID-19 vaccination for your child online or by calling 119.

If your children are enjoying the Easter holidays over the next few weeks, it may be a good time to book, with appointments available throughout. You can find more guidance on the Government’s website.

Vaccines

The spring vaccine booster is also now available to:

• People aged 75 years and over
• Those in care homes
• Those aged 12 years and over with a weakened immune system

The NHS will contact eligible people to book their next jab. You can also visit the NHS website for more advice or information.
