• Adults aged 75 years and over.
• Residents in a care home for older adults.
• Individuals aged 6 months and over who have a weakened immune system

This include those who turn 65 years old by 30th June 2024 who are eligible for a vaccination at any point in the campaign. Those who are admitted to an older adult care home or become immunosuppressed by 30 June are considered eligible as well.

Immunosuppression criteria

Eligibility is outlined in Chapter 14a of the Green Book, a document published by UKHSA specifically for public health professionals. It can be a complicated document for non-experts, so we’ve listed some of the groups here:

• Organ, bone marrow or stem cell transplant patients.
• Those being treated with systemic steroids for more than a month.
• Those living with HIV.
• Those receiving immunosuppressive or immunomodulating biological therapy, including children who are about to receive therapy.
• Those undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
• Those who require long-term treatment for immunosuppression
• Those with a history of haematological malignancy including chronic leukaemia, lymphomas, and leukaemia.
• Those with genetic disorders affecting the immune system.

While this list summarises some major groups, it does not cover everything. Please check online at nhs.uk/get-vaccine to see if you are eligible.
