The NHS will introduce a new generation of bivalent Covid-19 vaccines to kick off the autumn booster rollout. Becoming the first healthcare system in the world to use the new vaccine, the NHS will set out plans for its next phase of the Covid-19 vaccination programme.

The vaccine programme is set to start during the week of September 5 and will see NHS staff start off by vaccinating care home residents and those who are housebound.

Meanwhile, the National Booking Service will open in the week ahead of the wider rollout - September 12 - with the NHS expected to invite the most vulnerable groups and those aged 75 to book an appointment from that week.

Those who are invited to take the vaccine can either book online or dial 119 as long as it has been three months since their previous dose of the Covid vaccine.
