Covid19 Vaccination Programme - Spring boosters 2025 |
Covid Vaccination clinics are arranged locally at the Orford Jubilee ( http://maps.app.goo.gl/hettMeJ4cWr9VA9h7 ), if you wish to book an appointment for a covid vaccination, please contact the surgery.
The aim of the COVID-19 immunisation programme is to prevent serious disease (hospitalisation and/or mortality) arising from COVID-19.
The government has accepted Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advice that the NHS should plan for a seasonal COVID-19 vaccination programme in spring 2025. The statement also provides a broad indication of JCVI advised cohorts for autumn 2025 and spring 2026. The government is considering this advice carefully, with final decisions to follow in due course.
Please see Coronavirus Vaccine for more information.
The COVID-19 vaccine is recommended for people at increased risk from COVID-19.
You may be offered a COVID-19 vaccine in Spring 2025 if you are:
- adults aged 75 years and over
- residents in a care home for older adults
- individuals aged 6 months and over who are immunosuppressed (as defined in the ‘immunosuppression’ sections of tables 3 or 4 in the COVID-19 chapter of the green book)
This includes those who will turn 75 years old by 17 June 2025. They will be eligible for a vaccination at any point in the campaign. Those who are new residents in an older adult care home or become immunosuppressed by 17 June 2025 are also eligible.
Read the product information leaflets for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for more details on your vaccine, including possible side effects.

You can report suspected side effects on the coronavirus Yellow Card website.
You can have the winter COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as the flu vaccine. If you're eligible for an RSV vaccine, it's more effective to have it on a different day to your COVID-19 and flu vaccines.
Clinics will be held at the Orford Jubilee Hub.
