Covid-19 spring vaccine programme now available

The NHS is offering Covid-19 vaccinations this spring, to those most at risk of becoming unwell.

Those at increased risk of severe illness can get the vaccine, including those aged 75 or over (on 17 June 2025), people with a weakened immune system, and people who live in an older adult care home.

To book, you can visit the NHS App, the NHS website or call 119 for free. You may also be able to visit a walk-in site which does not require a booking.

Dr Chris Weiner, Chief Medical Officer at NHS Derby and Derbyshire said: “The spring vaccination programme is important for those who are most at risk of becoming unwell. If you are eligible, please do come forward. There are many ways you can book your vaccine making the process easy and accessible.

“Protection against Covid-19 can fade over time and the circulating strain of the virus can change, so if you are at higher risk of severe illness it is important that you top up your protection.”

If eligible, you do not need to wait for an invitation to book your vaccine.

Getting your Covid-19 vaccine is very convenient, with appointments available every day usually at your local pharmacy and GP surgery.
