Getting your Covid vaccination

Anybody aged 18 or over in the UK, including international students and their dependants, is eligible for the COVID-19 vaccination for free, regardless of their nationality or immigration status. Nobody in England has to pay for the COVID-19 vaccination. It is free of charge and does not count as the kind of care that requires payment.

Further information on how students and any dependents can get a vaccine can be found on the NHS website
