Spring Booster
Spring Booster
You should have your spring booster about 6 months (and not before 3 months) since your last dose of vaccine.
You are eligible for a spring booster dose if you:
- are aged 75 or over
- live in a care home for older people
You are also eligible if you are aged 12 or over and have had or have:
- a blood cancer, such as leukaemia or lymphoma
- a weakened immune system due to a treatment, such as steroid medicine, biological therapy (medicine that helps the immune system to fight cancer), chemotherapy or radiotherapy
- an organ or bone marrow transplant
- a condition that means you have a very high risk of getting infections
- a condition or treatment that your specialist says makes you need an extra dose
If you missed your first booster, it is important to have the spring booster as soon as possible. You might need another booster in addition to your usual flu vaccine in the autumn.
Please find more info on how to get the spring booster here
