Covid-19 vaccination remains an important part of seasonal protection for older adults, those with certain health conditions, and frontline workers. We are gearing up to offer the autumn 2026 booster programme.

This service launches in September 2026. The information below is what to expect when the service goes live. To register interest in advance, drop us a line on hello@sellypharmacy.co.uk.

Who is eligible?

The NHS Covid-19 autumn booster programme typically covers:

  • Adults aged 65 and over.
  • Residents in care homes for older adults.
  • People aged 6 months and over with weakened immune systems or certain health conditions.
  • Frontline NHS and social care workers.
  • Carers aged 16 and over.

Final eligibility for autumn 2026

Specific eligibility criteria for the 2026/27 season will be confirmed by the NHS closer to the launch in September. We will update this page as soon as the official guidance is published.

Combined with flu jabs

Eligible patients can usually have their flu jab and Covid booster at the same appointment, in opposite arms. We will offer this option as standard from September 2026.

Want a reminder?

Email hello@sellypharmacy.co.uk with the subject 'Covid jab reminder' and we will let you know the moment the service is live.

To book or ask a question, call 0121 472 0155. Walk-ins are welcome during opening hours, but a quick call ahead helps us be ready for you.

Yes — alongside the NHS service we plan to offer a private Covid vaccination service for patients who want a booster but do not qualify on the NHS.
