All people at especially high risk aged 16 or over are advised to get a COVID-19 vaccination this autumn/winter. People at especially high risk include:
- Persons aged 65 or over
- Persons aged 16 or over with certain forms of the following chronic conditions
- Persons aged 16 or over with trisomy 21
People at especially high risk have an increased risk of developing a severe case of COVID-19; and their immunity against contracting COVID-19 tends to decline faster, too. If you are such a person, getting the vaccination will improve your protection from developing severe COVID-19 and any associated complications for several months.
