NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board is calling on eligible people to come forward for their COVID-19 vaccination before the current seasonal campaign closes on 30th June 2026, stressing that there is still time to get protected ahead of summer.
With good appointment availability available across GP practices and community pharmacies, the NHS is encouraging anyone who has not yet had their jab this season to book as soon as possible.
“COVID-19 hasn’t gone away,” states Kerrie Linger, Assistant Locality Lead – Vaccination Programme Team, NHS Lincolnshire ICB. “Vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself and the people around you. If you’re eligible, now is the moment to act before this campaign ends.”
People eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination include:
- Aged 75 and over (including those who will be 75 by 30 June 2026)
- Living in a care homes for older adults
- Aged 6 months to 74 years and have a weakened immune system because of a health condition or treatment
Why getting vaccinated matters:
- Protection against COVID-19 — immunity fades over time, especially for older people and those with underlying health conditions.
- Reduced hospitalisation — vaccination significantly lowers the risk of severe illness and being hospitalised
- Community protection — getting vaccinated helps protect vulnerable family members and neighbours.

“With six weeks to go until the end of the current COVID-19 vaccination campaign if you or someone you care for is eligible, please make time to get protected. It’s quick, it’s safe, and it could prevent serious illness,” adds Kerrie.
