🍂 Autumn COVID & Flu Vaccination Clinics
We’re back at Bohunt School from Sunday 5 October, with our fantastic team and volunteers ready to help protect you for the winter ahead.
Who’s eligible this year?
COVID eligibility is narrower than before, so please check carefully. You can get the autumn COVID booster if you are:
Over 75 years old
A resident in a care home for older adults (even if under 75)
Immunosuppressed (over 6 months old, as defined in the Green Book tables 3 & 4 – if you’re unsure, contact your GP)
đź“Ś Important changes this year:
Routine eligibility does not include health and care workers, household contacts, or pregnancy on its own.
NB. you are pregnant AND immunosuppressed, you are eligible.
Why vaccination matters this autumn
Getting vaccinated is one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your community this winter.
For those aged 75+: As we get older, our immune system naturally weakens. This makes it harder to fight off infections like flu and COVID. Vaccination gives your body the extra boost it needs to stay well, avoid hospital admissions, and keep you active through the colder months.
For people who are immune suppressed: If your immune system is weakened by a condition or medication, infections can make you much more unwell and recovery can take longer. A booster vaccine reduces your risk of severe illness and helps you maintain independence and quality of life.
For everyone eligible: Each vaccination not only protects you but also reduces pressure on hospitals, helping keep services available for everyone. By getting your jab, you’re protecting your health and helping safeguard family, friends, and neighbours.
