Covid Boosters - Spring 2025

As we move into spring, protection from any earlier COVID-19 vaccination you may have had will be starting to wane.

COVID-19 can still be very dangerous and even life threatening, particularly for older people and those with a weakened immune system.

Thankfully, for those who are more likely to become seriously ill from COVID-19, the NHS offers a free vaccine in the spring to top up their protection. This was previously known as the ‘Spring Booster’.

The vaccine has saved countless lives, prevented thousands from needing to go to hospital and helped us to live with the virus without fear or restrictions.

Surveillance data relating to last spring’s programme shows that those who received a vaccine were around 45% less likely to be admitted to hospital with COVID-19 from 2 weeks following vaccination, compared to those who remained unvaccinated.

The Practice will be contacting eligible patients via text / phone / letter over the next month to attending vaccination sessions.
