Over half of England’s care home residents get Covid jab

MariaPCC 14 May 2024

More than half of England’s care home residents have received their spring Covid-19 vaccine from the NHS in the past four weeks. Over 155,000 people (52%) have received the jab since the NHS began administering it in older adult care homes in April. Overall, 2.5 million people across England have now had their spring vaccine and those eligible to book an appointment are being encouraged to come forward as soon as possible. Anyone currently aged 75 and over can get the vaccine, along with older adult care home residents and people with a weakened immune system aged six months and over.
