The total number of people who have had an ‘Autumn Booster’ vaccination for COVID-19 since the 5th September 2022 is now over 4.5million latest figures reveal.
Confirmed in the latest stats released this afternoon, the NHS in England has delivered 4,674,775 Covid-19 autumn boosters.
NHS director of vaccinations and screening, Steve Russell, said: “The NHS is leaving no stone unturned in its mission to stop the potential ‘twindemic’ this winter, with 4.6 million autumn booster jabs already delivered and the national flu campaign well underway to combat lower than usual levels of immunity to flu due quieter flu seasons over the pandemic.
“The vaccine is still our best protection against this difficult virus and with the number of patients in hospital with Covid-19 on the rise once again, I urge anyone eligible for the autumn booster to book their latest dose without delay through the NHS website or by calling 119, and help protect yourself and your loved ones this winter.”
