Millions have just weeks to get final free Covid boosters – are you eligible?

MILLIONS of Brits are being urged to get their spring Covid booster with just four weeks left for the rollout.

Around 3.6million of the 6.6million eligible adults in England have had their top-up jab so far, after The Sun called on readers to Do The Double with flu and Covid shots over winter.

But the remaining 3million only have until June 30 to get a vaccine.

Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay said: “If you have not yet taken up the offer you have just four weeks left until the programme closes.

“Even if you’ve not yet had your first dose of the Covid vaccine, you can still come forward to boost your protection.

“It couldn’t be easier to get your jab with thousands of sites available across the country, so please do not delay.”

The latest vaccine campaign started on April 3 in adult care homes and nine in 10 facilities have now been visited by NHS staff.

More than three quarters of residents have now had the most recent dose.

All over-75s, care home residents and people aged five or older with a weakened immune system are being offered a spring booster.

After the current jab drive, the health service is moving to a targeted seasonal offer to those most at risk of the virus.

NHS director of vaccinations and screening Steve Russell said: “There is now just one month left for others who are eligible to come forward.

“If you have had only one Covid vaccine so far, or none at all, it is not too late. 

“Please make the most of the month ahead by protecting yourself from Covid before the offer ends.”
