Unpaid and Family Carers Vaccinations
Unpaid Carers will be invited for their Covid-19 vaccination as part of priority group 6, although if you are over 65 or classed as clinically extremely vulnerable to the virus, you will be invited earlier. Invites for the vaccination will be sent out via GP practices to carers that are known to GP's. Carers will be known to their GPs if they have been identified as an unpaid carer.
You can find more information via our dedicated Support for Family and Unpaid Carers page.
