COVID booster shots are now available through the National Booking Service 

Social care workers are encouraged to book their COVID-19 vaccination booster shots through the National Booking Service. The booster shot works alongside the vaccine to help protect individuals from falling seriously ill when contracting the virus.  

The Joint Committee for Vaccinations and Immunizations (JCVI) has advised care workers can only apply for their vaccine booster shot six months after they have received their 2nd vaccine. Care staff residing in the UK can book their booster dose either online or visit walk-in centres across the country.  

Requirements for booking your Covid-19 Booster shot 

As part of the booking process, social care workers will need to self-declare they are frontline health or social care worker. When booking, they will be advised of the evidence they will need to provide at the vaccination site as proof of employment, otherwise, they may be turned away. 

Proof of employment will be accepted, using one of the following: 

  • A workplace photo ID, 

  • A recent letter from their employer (last 3 months), or 

  • A recent payslip which shows their employer (last 3 months) 

Please note we are receiving guidelines from the Government and Public Health Authorities and will communicate with more information when it becomes available.
