Who Can Get A COVID-19 Vaccine

People aged 16 and over can get a 1st and 2nd dose of a vaccine.

Most children aged 12 to 15 are currently only being offered a 1st dose.

 

How To Get Your COVID-19 Vaccine

If you’re aged 16 or over you can:

• book your COVID-19 vaccination appointments online for an appointment at a vaccination centre or pharmacy
• find a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination site to get vaccinated without needing an appointment
• wait to be contacted by your GP surgery and book your appointments with them

If you cannot book appointments online, you can call 119 free of charge. You can speak to a translator if you need to.

If you have difficulties communicating or hearing, or are a British Sign Language (BSL) user, you can use textphone 18001 119 or the NHS 119 BSL interpreter service.

 

Booking Your 2nd Dose

People aged 16 or over are eligible for a 2nd dose.

People aged 18 or over should have their 2nd dose from 8 weeks after their 1st dose.

Most people aged 16 or 17 should have their 2nd dose from 12 weeks after their 1st dose.

• If you book online, you’ll be asked to book appointments for both doses. You can manage your COVID-19 vaccination appointments to view your appointments and rebook if you need to.
• If you had your 1st dose at a walk-in vaccination site, you can book your 2nd COVID-19 vaccination appointment online. You’ll need to wait 24 hours after your 1st dose before you can book.
• If you have your 1st dose through your GP surgery, you’ll be contacted when it’s time to book your 2nd dose.
