Coronavirus Vaccine

Everyone aged 5 and over can get a first and second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Please note, this is only applicable to children who turned five years old by 31 August 2022.
Everyone aged 16 and over can also have a booster dose, three months after their second.
You can book a COVID-19 vaccination for yourself or your child on the national booking system at www.nhs.uk or by calling 119.
People aged 16 and over can simply turn up to a drop-in vaccination clinic without needing an appointment.
To find a drop-in clinic in Coventry and Warwickshire, visit the Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care System website.

Seasonal boosters
As of 12 February 2023, the NHS is no longer offering a Covid-19 vaccine booster.
Some people at increased risk, for example, because of age or certain medical conditions, may be offered a seasonal booster later this year. If you are eligible for this, the NHS will contact you when it’s your turn to get vaccinated.
