Covid-19 vaccination programme

Covid-19 vaccinations are the best way to protect you from coronavirus.

A guide to the autumn 2025 COVID-19 vaccination campaign

On 13 November 2024, JCVI (Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation) published advice on the COVID-19 vaccination programme for spring 2025, autumn 2025 and spring 2026.

On 26 June 2025, the government decided, in line with JCVI advice, that a COVID-19 vaccine should be offered to those in the population most vulnerable to serious outcomes from COVID-19 and who are therefore most likely to benefit from vaccination.

Vaccination will be offered in England in autumn 2025 to:

  • adults aged 75 years and over
  • residents in a care home for older adults
  • individuals aged 6 months and over who are immunosuppressed, as defined in tables 3 and 4 of the COVID-19 chapter of the Green Book, the UK Health Security Agency’s information on immunisation against infectious disease

Who’s eligible for the 2025 COVID-19 vaccine, or ‘Autumn Booster’?

 

How to access the COVID-19 autumn vaccination

NHS England will confirm details on how and when eligible people can access the autumn vaccine in due course.

COVID-19 spreads more easily in winter because we spend more time indoors with others.

Having your COVID-19 vaccination this autumn will give you protection from serious COVID illness over winter.
