NHS Covid-19 Vaccine Eligibility for Autumn/Winter 2025
For autumn 2025, NHS COVID-19 vaccination will be offered to:
adults aged 75 years and over residents in care homes for older adults individuals who are immunosuppressed aged 6 months and over This represents a change from the autumn 2024 programme, which also included adults aged 65 to 74 and all those aged 6 months and over in a clinical risk group.
The vaccine should usually be offered no earlier than around 6 months after the last vaccine dose. If you are eligible, you can get protection from an autumn COVID-19 vaccination even if you have not taken up a COVID-19 vaccine offer in the past.
Eligibility for the immunosuppressed We understand that having a weakened immune system (immunosuppression) is a lot less straight forward than the other criteria. Looking online can cause even more confusion, as people might see themselves (and be considered by others) as immunosuppressed but might not fit the immunosuppression criteria for vaccination.
So, what are the immunosuppression criteria? Eligibility is outlined in Chapter 14a of the Green Book, a document published by UKHSA specifically for public health professionals. It can be a complicated document for non-experts, so we’ve listed some of the groups here:
Organ, bone marrow or stem cell transplant patients
Those being treated with systemic steroids for more than a month Those living with HIV
Those receiving immunosuppressive or immunomodulating biological therapy, including children who are about to receive therapy
Those undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy Those requiring long-term treatment for immunosuppression
Those with a history of haematological malignancy including chronic leukaemia, lymphomas, and leukaemia
Those with genetic disorders affecting the immune system
While this list summarises some major groups, it does not cover everything. Please check online at nhs.uk/get-vaccine to see if you are eligible.
! Cervical Screening Update !
From September, the NHS plans to start sending digital results from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme, utilising the NHS App.
Those who have a negative test result will be notified of this by an NHS App message. If the NHS App message isn’t read within 72 hours, a letter will be sent as a failsafe.
Abnormal result letters will continue to be sent by post for the time being.
