COVID-19 vaccine programme next steps for leukaemia patients: from third doses to “spring” boosters
This article aims to explain more about different doses of the vaccine programme, from 3rd primary dose to Spring booster for the immunocompromised and who is eligible.
On 21st February 2022 the Government announced that those who are elderly or clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) would be eligible to receive another booster vaccine starting from spring this year in England, 6 months after their previous booster. This would be the 5th COVID-19 vaccine for this group.
Note: As far as we are aware, all countries of the UK intend to accept the JCVI guidance for a spring booster.
