If you have a weakened immune system, you may be eligible for a Spring Covid-19 vaccine to help protect against serious illness.
People with weakened immune systems (also known as immunosuppressed individuals) are at higher risk of severe complications from Covid-19. This includes those who:
- Have or had blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma, or myeloma
- Have undergone an organ, bone marrow, or stem cell transplant
- Are living with HIV at any stage
- Have a genetic disorder affecting the immune system
- Are receiving treatments like chemotherapy, radiotherapy, steroid medicines, or biological therapies
- Take certain immunosuppressive medications such as azathioprine, dexamethasone, prednisolone, ciclosporin, or mycophenolate
- Are on long-term treatment for conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, scleroderma, or psoriasis
This list is not exhaustive. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, speak to your GP, pharmacist, or specialist for guidance.
📅 Don’t delay – protect yourself this spring.
