Eligibility for the immunosuppressed

We understand that having a weakened immune system (immunosuppression) is a lot less straight forward than the other criteria. Looking online can cause even more confusion, as people might see themselves (and be considered by others) as immunosuppressed but might not fit the immunosuppression criteria for vaccination.

So, what are the immunosuppression criteria? Eligibility is outlined in Chapter 14a of the Green Book, a document published by UKHSA specifically for public health professionals. It can be a complicated document for non-experts, so we've listed some of the groups here:

  • Organ, bone marrow or stem cell transplant patients
  • Those being treated with systemic steroids for more than a month
  • Those living with HIV
  • Those receiving immunosuppressive or immunomodulating biological therapy, including children who are about to receive therapy
  • Those undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy
  • Those who require long-term treatment for immunosuppression
  • Those with a history of haematological malignancy including chronic leukaemia, lymphomas, and leukaemia
  • Those with genetic disorders affecting the immune system

While this list summarises some major groups, it does not cover everything. Please check online at nhs.uk/get-vaccine to see if you are eligible.

How to access the COVID-19 autumn vaccination

COVID-19 spreads more easily in winter because we spend more time indoors with others.

Having your COVID-19 vaccination this autumn will give you protection from serious COVID illness over winter.
