The Government has accepted advice from the JCVI for an autumn COVID-19 vaccination programme this year.


Minister for Public Health and Prevention, Andrew Gwynne, said: 

"We are committed to protecting those most vulnerable from COVID and have accepted the independent advice from the JCVI for the autumn 2024 vaccination programme. 
We will also continue to offer COVID vaccination to frontline NHS and social care workers and those working in care homes for older people this autumn.
I encourage anyone invited for a vaccine to get one as soon as possible to protect yourself and reduce pressure on the NHS during winter, helping to cut waiting times and get the health service back on its feet."
