All adults in England aged 18 years old and over are eligible for a COVID-19 booster vaccination, including those who are now severely immunosuppressed but were not severely immunosuppressed at the time of their second primary dose.

The Government accepted advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) regarding the offer of a third primary dose and a fourth dose as a booster to eligible individuals aged 12 years old and over with severe immunosuppression at or around the time of their first or second primary vaccination. Individuals whose immunosuppression commenced at least two weeks after their second primary dose do not require a third primary dose at this stage but will be eligible for a booster dose following completion of their two dose primary schedule.
