With England now under ‘Plan B’ Covid restrictions and fears mounting over the spread of the Omicron variant, the vaccine booster programme has been extended.

All of those over 18 are now eligible to receive a third dose, despite it previously only being available to those over 40, clinically vulnerable or who worked in healthcare.

16 and 17-year-olds are also being invited to have their second dose of the vaccine, and the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has advised that a second jab becomes available for those aged 12 to15.

“The booster is not just a nice to have – it is really important protection ahead of what we know will be a challenging winter. So if you are eligible, please do check the site finder and go get your jab.”

Dr Yvette Oade, the NHS clinical lead for the Covid vaccination programme for the North East and Yorkshire, has called on people to book their top-up vaccine as soon as they’re invited to ensure they get extra protection ahead of winter.

“The vaccines are the best way to protect yourself, your family and friends as we head into winter when we know Covid can present a bigger risk to our health,” she said.

“I encourage anyone who has received an invite to come forward for their booster jab as soon as they can and protect themselves and their loved ones. A booster vaccine will prolong the protection you have already developed from your first and second doses ahead of the winter.”

Walk in centres are also offering vaccinations to 12-15 year olds to get their jab, and parents should check the ‘Grab-a-Jab’ website to find their nearest centre, which is updated each day as new sites open up.

Parents can continue to use the national booking service to book their child’s jab or through the ongoing schools programme.
