Why Get the Spring

COVID-19 Booster?

The Spring Booster strengthens your protection against the virus and helps prevent severe illness.

When and How to Book Your Appointment

You should be offered an appointment between April and June, with those at highest risk being called in first. You will be invited to have your booster around 6 months after your last dose, but you can have it as soon as 3 months.

If you are turning 75 years of age between April and June, you do not have to wait until your birthday, you can attend when you are called for vaccination.

Important Information

In very rare cases, serious side effects may occur. Seek immediate medical advice if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or rapid heartbeat after vaccination.

If you have a severe, acute illness on the day of your appointment, wait until you recover to get vaccinated .

The vaccine reduces your risk of severe illness from COVID-19, but it may take a few days for full protection to develop.

If you haven't had all your previous vaccinations, you can get them during this campaign. Most people don't need extra doses to make up for missed vaccinations.

If you have a history of allergies or a previous immediate reaction, inform the vaccinator.
