How do I book my child’s COVID-19 vaccinations?

• If your child is aged 2-3 years or aged 6 months –17 years and in a clinical at risk group, we encourage you to book as soon as possibleto ensure they’re protected ahead of winter and to help prevent the spread of the virus.
• COVID-19 vaccinations for children aged 5 to 11 years old will be available later in October 2023. The NHS will contact you when vaccinations are available for this age group. You may wish to wait to receive an invitatio

 

When can I book my child’s flu vaccinations?

• If your child is aged two or three years old, or if they are aged six months to two years with certain health conditions, you can book a flu vaccination appointment at their GP practice
• If your child is of school age, you do not need to book at their GP practice. They will be vaccinated in schools or community clinics through the school aged immunisation service. You will recieve a consent form from your child's school which you need to fill in and return to ensure they get their flu vaccination at school.

You may be eligible if you are:

• aged 65 years and over (by 31 March 2024)
• aged 6 months to 64 years and at increased risk due to a health condition or medical treatment
• pregnant
• a frontline health or social care worker
• aged 12 to 64 years and live with someone who has a weakened immune system
• aged 16 to 64 years and a paid or unpaid carer
• a resident or staff in a care home for older adults.

If you have never been vaccinated before, or if you only had one dose, you can still get your seasonal vaccination. You only need one COVID-19 vaccination during the seasonal period (if you are aged 5 or over).It must be at least 3 months (91 days) since your last COVID-19 vaccination.

Who else can get a COVID-19 vaccine?

• Children aged 6 months to 4 years old who are at increased risk can get a first and second dose, followed by a seasonal dose 91 days later.
• If you have had a stem cell transplant or CAR-T therapy, your specialist may advise you that you need re-vaccination against COVID-19. Speak to your specialist or GP for advice.

Can I get a COVID-19 vaccine for travel or other purposes?

If you are not in an eligible group, it is not currently possible to access COVID-19 vaccination on the NHS or privately in England. The NHS website has more information about who is eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination. 

The flu vaccine is offered to people most at risk of getting seriously ill from flu or who are most likely to pass flu to other people at risk. The following people are eligible for the free flu vaccine this season:

• aged 2 and 3 years on 31 August 2023
• eligible school aged children (Reception to Year 11)
• those aged 6 months to under 65 years in clinical risk groups
• people that are pregnant
• all those aged 65 years and over (by 31 March 2024)
• those in long-stay residential care homes
• carers, those in receipt of carer’s allowance or main carer of an older or disabled person
• those that live with someone who is more likely to get infections (such as someone living with HIV, has had a transplant or is having certain treatments for cancer, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis)
• frontline workers in a social care setting that do not have access to occupational health

The NHS website has more information about who is eligible for a flu vaccination. Please wait to be invited by your GP.

If you do not fit into the NHS eligibilty criteria then you can book a flu jab privately through many local pharmacies.

Seasonal vaccines are offered because protection fades over time, and viruses change. The vaccines help give you good protection from becoming seriously ill or needing to go to hospital if you catch COVID-19 or flu.

How can I get my seasonal COVID-19 vaccination?

• Book using the NHS App or online at nhs.uk/book-covid. You can book both vaccinations at the same time 
• Find a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination by clicking on the tab abouve
• Book through a local NHS service, such as a GP surgery
• Through your care home

How can I get my seasonal flu vaccination?

In some areas, midwives can give the flu vaccine at the antenatal clinic. From October, some pharmacies are offering appointments online or via the NHS App.

To arrange your child’s flu vaccination:

• If your child is aged 2 or 3 years old or if they are aged 6 months to 2 years with certain health conditions, you can book aflu vaccination appointment at their GP practice.
• If your child is of school age, you do not need to book. They will be vaccinated in schools or community clinics through the school aged immunisation service.
