Autumn Booster Programme
A dose of the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine will be offered this autumn to people aged 65 and over, residents and staff in care homes, anyone aged 6 months and over in a clinical risk group (including pregnant women), and health and social care staff.
Vaccinations are also available for anyone aged 12-64 who are household contacts of people with immunosuppression, and to those aged 16-64 who are carers, including staff working in care homes for older adults.

Who can get a COVID-19 vaccine
To be eligible to be vaccinated as part of the Northern Ireland vaccination programme you generally have to be registered with a GP in Northern Ireland and be over 5 years old.
More information on what vaccine you can get, where to get it and how to book (where required) is available below.
If you’re not registered with a GP in NI but live here or are temporarily a resident in NI, you can probably still receive a vaccine but you should email the Department of Health at the email address below and they will advise you how you can be vaccinated.
