LONDON: Around five million people in England will be eligible for a spring COVID booster vaccine, including over 75-yearolds, those with a weakened immune system, and care home residents, the country’s health service said. Those living in care homes will be prioritised and begin to receive their vaccinations from Monday, as roving NHS teams visit these homes to administer the jabs. The National Health Service (NHS) said others eligible can book in on the UK’s National Booking Service or the NHS App from next Wednesday, with the first appointments available from April 17. The latest roll out marks the first time millions will be sent their initial invitations through the NHS App. Text messages and letters will also be sent to those without the app or not actively using it. This drive will last three months, with the last spring vaccination appointments offered on June 30.
