The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has updated its advice for the autumn 2025 COVID-19 vaccination programme, which has been accepted by ministers. The focus is now on protecting those most vulnerable to serious illness.

For autumn 2025, free NHS COVID-19 vaccinations will be available to:

• adults aged 75 years and over
• residents in care homes for older adults
• individuals who are immunosuppressed aged 6 months and over

This differs from the autumn 2024 programme, which also included adults aged 65 to 74 and individuals in wider clinical risk groups.

If you book outside these dates, we'll contact you to re-arrange your appointment. Thank you for your understanding!
