Somerset COVID-19 Vaccination Programme Spring 2025
COVID-19 remains more serious for older adults and those with certain underlying health conditions. This spring, many respiratory infections, including COVID-19 and flu, are expected to continue circulating, which may place increased pressure on hospitals and healthcare services.
To help protect those most at risk, the NHS is offering a COVID-19 vaccine from April 2025 to:
- People aged 75 years and over
- Residents in older adult care homes
- Individuals aged 6 months and over with weakened immune systems
This includes those who will turn 75 years old by 17 June 2025. They will be eligible for a vaccination at any point in the campaign. Those who are new residents in an older adult care home or become immunosuppressed by 17 June 2025 are also eligible.
This vaccination programme aims to reduce the risk of severe illness and hospitalisation from COVID-19. If you are eligible, you will be invited to book your vaccination appointment.
