Who can get the Covid, flu and RSV jabs now as bookings open today
Millions of people are being urged to book a Covid and flu jab now after bookings opened at 9am on Monday. Health officials fear there could be a “tripledemic” of flu, Covid-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
Bookings for vaccines are open now on the NHS website or by calling 119. Flu jabs will be given from October 3 to those 65 and over, along with people aged 18 to 65 in clinical risk groups and patients in long-stay residential homes.
Frontline social care workers will also be eligible, as well as people who provide care for elderly or disabled people. Those eligible for an autumn Covid booster include adults over 65, care home residents, staff, frontline health and social care workers, and people in clinical risk groups, including pregnant women.
The latest rollout comes after pregnant women, toddlers and school children up to year 11 were invited to book flu vaccines, along with all youngsters from six months to 18 in clinical risk groups.
