More than a million people will be eligible for a spring Covid-19 jab in the south east, as the NHS begins to roll out the next phase of the vaccination programme.
People aged 75 and over, those with a weakened immune system and older adult care home residents, will be eligible. This follows advice from the Joint Committee of Vaccination and Immunisation.
The first appointments are available from 17th April.
Text messages and letters will be sent to those eligible.
The last spring vaccination appointments will be offered on 30th June.

• 29th June: The last date for the public to book spring boosters.
• 30th June: The last date for the public to get vaccinated outside of seasonal booster campaigns.
