When the cold months hit, viruses don’t rest — and neither should we. The NHS has just announced who qualifies for a free Covid vaccine this autumn and winter, and it could include you or someone you love.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) confirmed that people aged 75 and over, or those living in elderly care homes, can book their free jab now. It’s also available to anyone six months to 74 years old with weakened immune systems — including those undergoing chemotherapy, taking steroids, or living with conditions like lupus or HIV.
“Vaccination remains our best protection,” said a UKHSA spokesperson. “It helps keep vulnerable people out of hospital during the colder months.”
Appointments can be arranged through the NHS website or app, offering a simple way to stay protected as cases rise and temperatures fall.
It’s a small step — but one that could save lives this winter. 💉💙
