Covid Autumn Booster Vaccine 2024

Individuals with the highest susceptibility to severe illness from Covid, such as residents in care homes, those aged 65 and above, and frontline workers in health and social care, qualify for a booster shot in the autumn.

Am I eligible for an autumn Covid booster?

Enhancing your defense against COVID-19, especially if you are at an elevated risk of severe illness, involves receiving booster doses. These boosters play a crucial role in amplifying your antibodies, providing robust protection and reducing the likelihood of severe illness or hospitalization if you contract COVID-19.

Pregnant individuals, regardless of their stage of pregnancy

People aged 18 years old and above who fall within a clinical risk group can receive vaccination.

This is because the risk of severe Covid continues to be strongly associated with increasing age and underlying health conditions. See the definition of a Clinical Risk Group here.



When is the booster available and how do I book an appointment?

If you meet the criteria, you have the option to receive a seasonal booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine through:

Vaccinations are avaialble for those most at risk, including adult care home residents and people who are immunosuppressed.

From 18 September, the NHS will start to invite people in priority order of risk and those eligible will be able to book an appointment on the National Booking Service.

If you have difficulties communicating or hearing, or are a British Sign Language (BSL) user, you can use textphone 18001 119 or the NHS 119 BSL interpreter serviceYou may also be contacted by a local NHS service, such as your GP surgery, to get a vaccine for you or your child. This is can be by text, phone call, a letter or a notification in the NHS App.

Why should I get an autumn booster

Vaccines help to protect against severe illness, hospitalisations and deaths from Covid.

People who received an autumn booster vaccine last year were around 53% less likely to go to the hospital with Covid in the two to four weeks after getting vaccinated, compared to those who didn't get a booster.

Last year's autumn booster programme saw almost 84% of over-80s vaccinated and more than 73% of 65-70-year-olds, protecting the most vulnerable and helping us to live with Covid.

If you believe you qualify for a booster dose but lack a suitable letter, prescription, or medicine box, there's still a possibility to receive the vaccination. Upon arriving for your appointment, engage with our pharmacist to discuss your eligibility. They will assess and confirm your eligibility. Additionally, consider getting your flu jab during the same visit for added convenience. Learn more about our flu jab service

I think this is the best pharmacy in our local area! The staff are lovely and helpful and there is a range of services available including inoculations and travel bits and bobs together with a private area if you don’t want to discuss your ailments in front of all Broadstairs! They waste time and space on cosmetics etc just concentrating on the things you actually need from a pharmacy. Really knowledgeable staff make this without doubt the only option for a pharmacy.
