Book your COVID Booster a month ahead
People living in England can book their coronavirus booster jab a month in advance from today, under government plans to speed up the booster rollout.
Previously people could not not book their top-up vaccines until six months have elapsed since their second dose.
But from today (Monday 8 November), those aged 50 and over, plus those most at risk, are able to book after five months.
This means that people can receive their booster on the day they reach the six-month milestone.

NHS England is introducing the change to accelerate the rate of take-up of booster jabs, to help prolong protection against the virus.
Experts say while two vaccine doses give people high levels of protection, immunity reduces over time, particularly for at-risk groups.
The added concern is that even small dips in vulnerable people's immunity will affect the NHS's ability to cope this winter.
In addition, everyone over 50 and younger adults with underlying health issues, are being urged to take up their offer of a flu vaccine.
