Spring Covid-19 booster programme to begin

The programme is taking place in line with UK guidance

The States of Guernsey is set to begin its 2024 Covid-19 spring booster programme from 13 April until 29 June.

The booster programme is taking place in line with advice from the UK's Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).

The programme will be rolled out in partnership with primary care providers across the islands.

Islanders who are eligible will be sent an invitation and should then contact their local GP surgery in order to be vaccinated.

The following islanders will be eligible:

• Islanders over the age of 75

• Residents of care homes

• Immunosuppressed individuals older than six months.

More information about the JCVI's programme and guidance is available on the gov.uk website.
