Coronavirus: latest updates

The COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. They give you the best protection against COVID-19.

The vaccines are widely available, based on people's age and health status:

• Everyone aged 5 and over can get a 1st and 2nd dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
• People aged 16 and over, and some children aged 12 to 15, can also get a booster dose.
• People aged 12 and over who had a severely weakened immune system when they had their first 2 doses, will be offered a 3rd dose and a booster (4th dose).
• People aged 75 and over, people who live in care homes for older people, and people aged 12 and over who have a weakened immune system, will be offered a spring booster in 2022.
