Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccinations in Lincolnshire

The NHS national booking system has now opened for eligible people to book in their spring COVID-19 vaccination.

Who should have the COVID-19 vaccine

You can get a COVID-19 vaccine if you:

  • are aged 75 or over (including those who will be 75 by 17 June 2025)
  • are aged 6 months to 74 years and have a weakened immune system because of a health condition or treatment
  • live in a care home for older adults

A summary of the health conditions, treatments and medications that can cause a weakened immune system is available on the NHS.UK website, and a full definition of immunosuppression can be found in Chapter 14a (table 3) of the Green Book.

How to get the COVID-19 vaccine

If you’re eligible for the spring COVID-19 vaccine, you can book a COVID-19 vaccination appointment online or in the NHS App now.

Vaccination appointments will take place from 1 April 2025.

From 1 April 2025, you may also be able to get vaccinated at:

  • a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination site
  • a local service, such as a community pharmacy or your GP surgery
  • your care home (if you live in a care home)

You do not need to wait for an invitation before booking an appointment.


COVID-19 Vaccine Fraud

Criminals are using the COVID-19 vaccine as a way to target the public by tricking them to hand over cash or financial details. They are sending convincing-looking text messages letting people know they are eligible for the vaccine or phoning people directly pretending to be from the NHS, or local pharmacy.

People are warned to be alert to these scams:

  • The NHS will:
  • NEVER ask for payment – the vaccine is free
  • NEVER ask for your bank details
  • NEVER arrive unannounced at your home to administer the vaccine
  • NEVER ask you to prove your identity by sending copies of personal documents such as your passport
