End Of June Deadline For Spring Boosters

Friday, 27 May 2022 15:40

Islanders yet to have their spring Covid-19 vaccine booster have until the end of June 2022 to get their dose.

The programme will close so there is enough of a gap before the autumn boosters begin.

Over 75s, care home residents, and people who are immunosuppressed will be advised to have a further jab then.

75% of those eligible for the spring dose have had it - those who haven't can walk into the vaccine centre without an appointment.

"Relevant clinicians and officers from Jersey’s vaccination programme will be discussing the latest advice and further information on the autumn rollout will be provided in due course once the JCVI has issued final guidance.

Islanders who are currently eligible for a spring booster should still come forward for vaccination if they have not already done so. This will ensure they have good protection between now and when a booster is offered in autumn.

All vaccination doses continue to be available to Islanders aged 5 and over, and it is not too late to get your first dose if you have not already done so." - Emma Baker, Head of the Vaccination Programme.

Vaccines can be booked here.
