Some people with MS across the UK can get a free COVID-19 vaccine booster this spring. The vaccine is available to the following groups from 1 April 2025;
- adults aged 75 years and over
- residents in a care home for older adults
- people who are ‘immunosuppressed’, which can include people who take certain DMTs (Disease Modifying Therapies) for MS. .
Carers and household contacts aren’t on the list for the booster this spring, unless covered anyway by one of the other groups.
There is lots of useful information about MS and the COVID-19 vaccine on the MS Society website.
If you are eligible for the spring booster, you do not need to wait for an invitation before booking an appointment. You can book in the NHS app, by calling 119 or on the NHS website.
