The aim of the COVID-19 immunisation programme is to prevent serious disease (hospitalisation and/or mortality) arising from COVID-19.

JCVI聽advises that the following groups should be offered COVID-19 vaccination in spring 2025:

  • 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 鈥榠mmunosuppression鈥� sections of tables 3 or 4 in the聽COVID-19 chapter of the green book)

The government is considering JCVI鈥檚 advice for autumn 2025 and spring 2026 programmes and will respond in due course.
