Back to Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination


BOOK OR MANAGE A CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) VACCINATION

Use this service to book a 1st, 2nd, 3rd or booster dose of the coronavirus
(COVID-19) vaccine or manage an appointment.


WHO CAN BOOK ONLINE?

You can book a vaccine online if you're registered with a GP surgery in England.
You can register with a GP if you do not have one.


YOU CAN BOOK THESE ONLINE:

 * 1st and 2nd doses for people who are 5 years old and over

 * additional primary doses for people with a severely weakened immune system
   aged 5 years old and over

 * 1st booster for people aged 16 years old and over, plus at-risk children aged
   12 to 15 years old

 * a seasonal booster (autumn booster) for some people, including people over 65
   and some who are at higher risk (see 1st booster and seasonal booster to find
   out who can get seasonal boosters)
   
   
   
   


HOW IT WORKS

We'll ask you some questions and offer an appointment based on your previous
vaccinations and the answers you give us.

Information:

You can book for someone else, such as your child or someone you care for, if
you have their consent. You'll need to enter their details when booking.

1st or 2nd doses

You can book a 1st or 2nd dose of the vaccine if you or your child are aged 5
years old or over.


CHILDREN AGED 5 AND OVER

Children who turned 5 on or after 1 September 2022 can only book a 1st or 2nd
dose of a COVID-19 vaccine online if they are at high risk due to a health
condition or because of a weakened immune system.


WHEN YOU CAN BOOK A 2ND DOSE

You should be able to book a 2nd dose on the day after your 1st dose. If you or
your child are:

 * 18 years old or over - you'll be offered 2nd dose appointments from 8 weeks
   (56 days) after your 1st dose
 * under 18 years old - you'll be offered 2nd dose appointments from 12 weeks
   (84 days) after your 1st dose.

HOW TO GET AN EARLIER 2ND DOSE IF YOU'RE UNDER 18 YEARS OLD AND AT-RISK

 * If you or your child are under 18 years old and at high risk from COVID-19,
   you're eligible for a 2nd dose from 8 weeks after your 1st dose.

However, this service will only offer you appointments from 12 weeks after your
1st dose.

To get your 2nd dose from 8 weeks, please either:

 * contact your GP surgery
 * go to a walk-in site with a letter from a GP that says you're eligible for a
   2nd dose from 8 weeks after your 1st dose


ADVICE FOR CHILDREN AGED 5 TO 15 YEARS OLD AND THEIR PARENTS OR GUARDIANS

A SET OF RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE ON GOV.UK IN A VARIETY OF LANGUAGES, BRAILLE
AND EASY READ.

These resources are to help children, young people and their parents or
guardians make a decision about whether to get vaccinated:

 * GOV.UK: COVID-19 vaccination resources for children aged 5 to 11 years old
 * GOV.UK: COVID-19 vaccination resources for children and young people aged 12
   to 17 years old

Consent to treatment is an important part of the process and staff at the
vaccination site will ask for consent before giving the vaccine.

1st booster and seasonal booster


1ST BOOSTER

A 1st booster can be booked online if you or your child have completed your
primary COVID-19 vaccination course (1st and 2nd dose, plus an additional
primary dose if you have a severely weakened immune system) and are either:

 * aged 16 years old or over
 * aged 12 to 15 years old with a condition that means they're at high risk from
   COVID-19

The appointment dates you'll be offered will start from 3 months (91 days) after
your 2nd dose.


SEASONAL BOOSTERS

A seasonal booster (autumn booster) can be booked online for anyone who is:

 * aged 65 or over
 * pregnant
 * aged 5 and over and at high risk due to a health condition
 * aged 5 and over and at high risk because of a weakened immune system
 * aged 16 and over and lives with someone who has a weakened immune system
 * aged 16 and over and is a carer, either paid or unpaid
 * a frontline health and social care worker

People aged 50 to 64 years old who are not in any of these groups will be able
to get a seasonal booster (autumn booster) later in autumn 2022.

The appointment dates you'll be offered will start from 3 months (91 days) after
your previous dose.


CHILDREN AGED 5 TO 15

You cannot book seasonal booster (autumn booster) appointments for some children
aged 5-15 online, including those who live with someone with a weakened immune
system. You will need to go to a walk-in vaccination site or book an appointment
at a GP surgery.


ADVICE FOR CHILDREN AGED 12 TO 15 YEARS OLD AND THEIR PARENTS OR GUARDIANS

A set of COVID-19 vaccination resources for children and young people are
available on GOV.UK in a variety of languages, Braille and Easy Read. These
resources are to help children, young people and their parents or guardians make
a decision about whether to get vaccinated.

There's also a list of pre-screening questions on GOV.UK to help you and your
child consider what is likely to be asked at your appointment. You do not need
to complete this before you go.

Consent to treatment is an important part of the process. A consent form is
available on GOV.UK to help you and your child discuss this decision, but you do
not need to print or bring the form with you. Staff at the vaccination site will
ask for consent before giving the vaccine.

Additional primary doses for people with a severely weakened immune system


WHO NEEDS THIS DOSE?

People who had a severely weakened immune system when they had their 1st or 2nd
dose will be offered an additional primary dose (3rd dose) before their booster.

You can use this service to book an additional primary dose for people with a
severely weakened immune system aged 5 years old or over.

Read more about the COVID-19 vaccine for people with a weakened immune system.


THINGS YOU'LL NEED TO BRING

Someone at the site will talk to you and check your evidence to make sure you or
your child are eligible.

Examples of things you can bring to show you're eligible include:

 * a letter from your GP or hospital specialist inviting you to get the 3rd dose
   for people with a severely weakened immune system
 * a hospital letter that describes the condition or treatment that caused you
   to have a severely weakened immune system at the time of your 1st or 2nd dose
 * a prescription or a medicine box with your name and the date showing when the
   medicine was prescribed - this must show that you had a severely weakened
   immune system at the time of your 1st or 2nd dose

Information:

If you think you’re eligible but you do not have a suitable letter, prescription
or medicine box, you may still be able to receive your vaccination.


WHEN YOU CAN BOOK AN ADDITIONAL PRIMARY DOSE (3RD DOSE)

You'll be able to book an additional primary dose (3rd dose) when it’s been 26
days since your 2nd dose.

The appointment dates you'll be offered will start from 8 weeks (56 days) after
your 2nd dose.

 * GOV.UK: COVID-19 vaccination resources for children aged 5 to 11 years old
 * GOV.UK: COVID-19 vaccination resources for children and young people aged 12
   to 17 years old

Consent to treatment is an important part of the process and staff at the
vaccination site will ask for consent before giving the vaccine.

If you or your child have a positive COVID-19 test or symptoms of COVID-19

If you or your child have tested positive for COVID-19, you need to wait a
number of weeks before having the vaccine. You need to wait:

 * 4 weeks (28 days) if you're aged 18 years old or over
 * 12 weeks (84 days) if you or your child are aged 5 to 17 years old
 * 4 weeks (28 days) if you or your child are aged 5 to 17 years old and at high
   risk from COVID-19, or live with someone who has a weakened immune system

This starts from the date that symptoms started, or the date of the positive
test result, whichever was earlier.

If you or your child have symptoms of COVID-19, but have not had a test, wait
until the symptoms are better to get a COVID-19 vaccine. You can talk to a
healthcare professional at the site about this.
