Young people aged 16 and 17 years old can now book a COVID-19 booster vaccination appointment online.
Top-up doses of the vaccine are available at least three months after you had your second dose.
Invites have been sent encouraging teens in this age group to book their appointment through the online booking service, calling 119, or by finding their nearest walk-in site to get vaccinated without needing an appointment, as soon as they can.
Clinically at-risk 12 to 15 year-olds or those who live with someone who is immunosuppressed can now also have their booster jab three months after their two primary doses, with those who are severely immunosuppressed able to get their booster after a third primary dose. Those eligible in this age group can go to a walk-in vaccination site or wait to be contacted by a local NHS service such as a GP surgery and book an appointment with them.
A booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine tops up the protection you have from your primary doses of the vaccine, making it effective longer-term and helping prevent you getting seriously ill if you catch the virus.
