Time is running out for those with a low risk of severe illness from COVID-19 to get their first and second COVID-19 vaccination. For these groups, the vaccination programme ends on 30 June.
Appointments can be booked easily online, by calling 119, or people can visit one of the hundreds of walk-in vaccination sites in the UK.
Building on the success of autumn and spring booster programmes, a seasonal, targeted vaccination offer will remain open for those most at risk, in line with advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).
This year’s spring booster programme will also end on 30 June.
Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisation at the UK Health Security Agency, said:
“The COVID-19 vaccines have enabled us to live with the virus thanks to the protection they have given the millions of people who have come forward to date.”
Dr Mary added: “Getting the vaccine remains the best way to avoid severe illness and it can increase your protection even if you have previously had the virus. It only takes a few minutes and I encourage anyone who has not yet done so to come forward before the offer ends.”
