# COVID-19 Booster Vaccination Update
What's changed:** The JCVI (the group of experts that recommends vaccines in the UK) has updated their guidance on who should get COVID-19 booster shots, so the recommendations may be different from what you heard before.
What you should do:** Check the NHS website or contact your GP surgery to find out if the new guidance applies to you—your eligibility for a booster may have changed, either opening it up to more people or adjusting the timing of when you should get one.
Key point to remember:** Booster shots continue to be an important way to protect yourself against COVID-19, so if you're offered one under the new advice, it's worth getting to keep your immunity strong.

Always speak to your doctor before making any changes to your health or treatment.
