COVID-19 Vaccination Service
Please always refer to the Community Pharmacy England COVID-19 Vaccination Hub here for the latest news and updates on the relevant seasonal programme.
Autumn/Winter 2025 Campaign
The COVID-19 vaccination campaign will run from 1st October 2025 to 31st January 2026 with the expectation that most COVID-19 vaccinations should be completed by 19th December 2025.
This aligns the start date for both adult flu vaccinations and COVID-19 vaccinations which aims to support co-administration of flu and COVID-19 wherever possible to provide the best possible protection for patients ahead of winter.
The groups to be offered a COVID-19 vaccine in autumn/winter 2025 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 COVID-19: the green book, chapter 14a (Tables 3 and 4).
