Yes, it is currently possible to get a COVID-19 vaccine in many places. For example:
- In the UK, from October 1, 2025, people aged 5 years and over who are eligible for the winter COVID-19 vaccine can book appointments online or at local walk-in sites including pharmacies and GP surgeries. Most people need only one dose, but extra doses are available for people with severely weakened immune systems.
- In the Netherlands, a new COVID-19 vaccination round is taking place from September 15 to December 5, 2025. Eligible groups include people aged 60 and over, people aged 50-59 who get a flu vaccine annually, medical high-risk groups, and care workers in contact with vulnerable patients. Vaccinations are given at municipal health services and can also be arranged at home in exceptional cases.
- In the U.S., vaccine availability is becoming more restricted in 2025, with recommendations focusing on adults aged 65 and older and individuals with certain medical conditions. Vaccination is based on shared decision making with healthcare providers, and not all healthy adults may have easy access to the vaccine.
Eligibility depends on factors such as age, health status, and local guidelines, but if you are in an eligible group, you can generally get a COVID-19 vaccine through healthcare providers, pharmacies, or public health services. It is best to check your local health authority's website or contact a healthcare provider to find out how to book or where to get vaccinated.
