Covid vaccination appointments are now open for those aged 56 and above.
Those now eligible to book via the NHS online system are:
- aged 56 or over
- at high risk from coronavirus (clinically extremely vulnerable)
- eligible frontline health or social care worker
- have a condition that puts you at higher risk (clinically vulnerable)
- have a learning disability

You need to be registered with a GP surgery in England to use the service.
People need to have 2 doses of the coronavirus vaccine at 2 appointments which are booked at the same time. The second dose is to be received 11 to 12 weeks after getting the first.
If you’ve had a positive COVID-19 test, you should wait 4 weeks from the date you had the test before you book an appointment.
The national booking service allows you to book from a range of four large vaccine centres and 11 pharmacies across Kent and Medway. The centres all currently use the Astra Zeneca vaccine.
