Is it too late for me to get a booster?

I'm 57. Up until Autumn 2022 I was fully vaccinated. I got Covid in October which meant that when I became eligible for a booster later that month I had to wait four weeks. In November I was busy with one thing and another but in December I attempted to book a vaccination but the online system was playing up and I couldn't get a suitable appointment. A couple of days after that I fell ill (not Covid) which developed into a nasty chest infection. Anyway, long story short, it's taken me a couple of months to feel like my immune system could take having a vaccination. I've just tried now to book one but apparently they're not being offered anymore? Is this correct?

Yes, autumn campaign is closed for the general population.

The exceptionally vulnerable (on bespoke schedules) may still be able to get them done.

And it's possible there will be a spring booster for the most vulnerable groups.

I doubt there will be further jabs for anyone without a medical need before the autumn.

Flu jab availability will be ending soon as well (can't find the date at the mo, but its usually in Feb/March)
