Second boosters
A second booster is recommended for those at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19 – a minimum of 6 months after a first booster. Find out if you are eligible and how to book.
If you've recently had COVID-19
We recommend you wait 3 months after testing positive before getting any COVID-19 vaccination. If you get a vaccination soon after you've been infected, you might not get the best possible benefit from the vaccine. This is because your antibody levels will already be high.
