Eligibility

COVID-19 can still be very dangerous and even life threatening, particularly for older people and those with a weakened immune system.

Similar to previous spring programmes, the government has accepted the JCVI’s advice to offer the COVID-19 vaccine to those at high risk of serious disease (hospitalisation and/or mortality) and who are therefore most likely to benefit from vaccination.

Those eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine in spring 2026 are:
• adults aged 75 years and over (including individuals who turn 75 years old by 30 June 2026)
• residents in a care home for older adults
• individuals aged 6 months and over who are immunosuppressed
