Autumn 2023 Covid booster eligible groups

Here’s the list of eligible groups to receive a Covid booster in the UK in Autumn 2023. Healthy people are restricted to only over 65s getting the booster. But younger people eligible on health grounds (including immunosuppression) are to get it, as are household contacts of immunosuppressed people, and carers. So eg my husband (aged 51) will get it again, as both my household contact and my registered carer. And I’ll get it (my 8th Covid vaccine).

Brilliant thank you! It’s good my wife can have one. In the spring the NHS website allowed her to book a booster but she was turned away. Hopefully it’s a bit better defined this time. Nick.
