If you are aged 50 and over, an eligible frontline health or social care worker, a main carer for someone at high risk from COVID-19*, have a learning disability, are clinically extremely vulnerable (high risk) or clinically vulnerable (moderate risk) – you can book your vaccine online at www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination or call 119 without needing an invitation.

See the full list of priority groups here and guidance on frontline health or social care workers and the high or moderate risk categories here.

*Carers can book online if you get a Carer’s Allowance or you are listed as a carer in your GP records. Carers can get advice from their local carers association such as Southwark Carers in Southwark

NOTE: The online booking system offers appointments at a larger vaccination centre or a pharmacy that provides COVID-19 vaccinations. If you are housebound you will be contacted by your GP to be vaccinated at home. If you are not housebound, you can wait to be contacted by your GP or until more locations closer to where you live become available.
