Booster programmes

Spring Booster 2023 

Spring boosters are currently being offered to Islanders who are:

  • aged 75 and over
  • a resident in a care home
  • immunosuppressed aged 5 and over
This is advised by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).

Scheduled appointments will be available from Tuesday 11 April 2023.

It's recommended that you have your booster 6 months from your last dose, but it can received if a minimum of 3 months has passed. If you're turning 75 years old between April and the end of June, you can make an appointment for a spring booster during this campaign period. You do not have to wait for your birthday. 

Appointments

The Vaccination Centre's opening hours are:

  • Tuesday to Friday, 11.30am to 6.30pm 
  • Saturday, 8.30 to 3.30pm  

If you are unable to book yourself, ask a family member or friend to assist you, or send an email to VHE@gov.je. If you do not have online access then call 0800 735 5566. This phone line is open from 8.30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

You can still receive your primary course (first and second dose) if you are aged 5 years and over. 

Second doses of the vaccine should be booked between 8 and 12 weeks from the date you receive your first dose.

Spring vaccines

You will be given a booster dose of a vaccine made by Sanofi or Pfizer which are approved through the Medicines and Health products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. These vaccines have been updated since the original vaccines and target different COVID-19 variants.  

These updated vaccines boost protection and give higher levels of antibody against the more recent strains of COVID-19 (Omicron) than the vaccines you received previously. 

As we cannot predict which variants of COVID-19 will be circulating this spring and summer, the JCVI has concluded that all of these vaccines can be used and that no one should delay vaccination to receive a different vaccine. 

The Sanofi vaccine contains an adjuvant, which is a chemical used to improve the immune response to the virus. This vaccine will only be offered to older people who may not respond as well to other vaccines. The adjuvant in the COVID-19 vaccine is similar to the one used in the flu vaccine which is routinely given to over 65 year olds. 

More information about vaccine ingredients is available at Coronavirus (COVID-19). 

If you have any questions about the vaccine then you can contact your GP, the vaccination team at Fort Regent, or you can find more information at COVID-19 vaccine programme.
