COVID-19 is still with us and people can still become very ill. Vaccines are highly effective in preventing hospital admission and serious illness, but protection wears off over time.
Autumn boosters are available to those most at risk to boost their protection. This includes those who are: aged 50 or over, pregnant, a frontline health or care worker, at high risk from COVID-19, or who live with or care for people at risk.
Having your booster will ensure you continue to have the best protection against coronavirus through the winter months. If you're eligible, you should get yours as soon as possible.
As well as protecting you and the people around you, vaccination also helps the NHS by reducing the number of people that are likely to get seriously ill from catching a virus and needing to go to hospital.
