Unpaid carers can now book their booster on the National Booking System.

Earlier in the summer, Carers UK warmly welcomed the news that unpaid carers will now be included in the autumn vaccine booster programme for COVID-19 as well as the annual flu campaign where they are eligible for a free jab.

The definition of who is eligible remains the same as before. There are slightly different processes being used this year and carers will be able to book directly through the National Booking Service or through 119 as long as it has been three months since their last dose.
