A spring booster of the COVID-19 vaccine is available to people aged 75 and over, people who live in a care home for older people, or people aged 12 and over who have a weakened immune system. NHS England will be contacting all patients eligible for this booster dose.

You can book or manage a coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination at NHS: Book or manage a coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination

In the meantime, we are politely asking patients not to call us regarding the Spring Booster.

We want to hear your experiences of cancer care in the NHS

Understanding the experiences of patients is essential for the NHS to provide high quality personalised care and treatment. Through our latest Cancer Patient Experience Survey, we are asking for your feedback about your experiences of cancer care and treatment. Questionnaires have been sent out to patients who received cancer treatment during April, May or June 2020.

By responding to the survey, you can contribute to future improvements in your local cancer services. If you, or a family member or friend, have had cancer care and treatment and have not received a questionnaire, you can find information on how to share your feedback in other ways, along with more information on the survey, at www.ncpes.co.uk/faq.

Covid vaccination status for international travel

From 17 May 2021, people in England who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can demonstrate their vaccination status for international travel. A full course is currently two doses of any approved vaccine. Vaccine status will be available from:
the NHS App which you can download from app stores
the NHS website (from 17 May 2021)
It may take more than a week for your identity to be checked and verified so you can use these services.
If you cannot access these online services, and you have had 2 vaccines, you can request a paper letter from the NHS by calling 119. Only call 119 if you had your second dose more than 5 working days ago. It may take 7 working days for the letter to arrive.

This practice is not able to provide you with a letter that shows your COVID-19 vaccination status.

When you're planning your travel, check the latest information on demonstrating your COVID-19 status when travelling abroad on the gov.uk website. Make sure there is time to get proof of your vaccination status before you leave.
