The Q&A page on vaccinations continues to be updated regularly as new information becomes available.
Back in September 2021, the JCVI announced that people who had severely suppressed immune systems at the time of their first and second doses of the vaccine should be offered a third dose. This is not a booster dose, but an additional dose to increase your protection from COVID-19. People with suppressed immune systems will then be eligible for their booster three months after they have had their third primary dose.
- You can find out who is able to get a third dose of the vaccine, and a booster dose, in the sections below.
In England, you can access the online national booking system to make an appointment or call 119 free of change between 7am and 11pm.
In Scotland, if you're in the priority groups, you should already have been invited for the vaccine. If you haven't, contact your GP or visit the NHS Inform website. You can book your appointment online, if you are eligible for the vaccine.
In Wales, some NHS local health boards are asking people in the priority groups to get in touch if they haven’t been invited for the vaccine yet. Find your local NHS health board.
In Northern Ireland, if you’re 18 or older, you can book your appointment online.
