Vaccination is an essential part of protecting yourself against serious illness. COVID and flu vaccines will be offered to residents of Birmingham and Solihull this year who are at increased risk from these diseases.
To protect yourself, others, and the NHS, make sure that you get your vaccine.
The spring COVID booster will be available from Monday 22 April for:
- Adults aged 75 years and over.
- Residents in care homes for older adults.
- Those who are immunosuppressed.
The NHS will contact you if your NHS record suggests you may be eligible.
When available, there may be different ways you can get your seasonal vaccines:
- Booking an appointment
- Going to a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination site
- A local NHS service, such as a GP surgery
- Through your care home
You can book your COVID vaccine online by visiting the NHS website, or by calling 119.
You can also receive a COVID vaccine from a walk-in site. Upcoming walk-in clinics in Birmingham and Solihull are available online.
The flu vaccine helps protect against flu, which can be a serious or life-threatening illness. It's offered on the NHS every year in autumn or early winter to people at higher risk of getting seriously ill from flu. Visit the NHS website to learn more.
