AUTUMN COVID BOOSTER VACCINE

The protection from previous doses or a COVID-19 infection may weaken over time. Booster doses help boost your antibodies and give you good protection from becoming seriously ill or needing to go to hospital if you get COVID-19.

Who can get a Booster

You will be offered a booster dose from October 2024 if you are:

• age 60 or older

• age 18 years and older with a condition that puts you at high risk of serious illness from COVID-19

• those living in long term care facilities for older adults

If you're age 18 to 59 and not in one of the groups above, you can still request a vaccine. Talk to your GP about your reasons for wanting a booster.

How long to wait

You have to leave some time between your booster and your last COVID-19 vaccine or COVID-19 infection.

The recommended minimum interval following infection or vaccination is 6 months, however shorter intervals down to 3 months are permissible in certain circumstances.
