Currently, the LP.8.1 vaccine provided under the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme for children and adults will expire in mid-July and early September this year respectively. Existing vaccination services will continue until the following dates:
- Individuals aged six months to 11 years: Vaccination services will be available until 10 July 2026.
For children aged six months to 4 years without prior infection: if they do not receive their first dose on or before 12 June, they will not be able to receive the second dose by 10 July to complete the initial doses. However, they may still book their first dose now, and receive the second dose once the vaccine supply resumes.
- Individuals aged 12 or above: Vaccination services will be available until 5 September 2026.
Vaccination services under the Programme will resume in an orderly manner in the fourth quarter this year.
Members of the public who are registered with eHealth, when booking COVID-19 vaccination through the eHealth App, the booking system will automatically fill in users' personal particulars and past vaccination records, making it easier to book their next vaccine dose.
In addition, members of the public may still make COVID-19 vaccination booking direct via designated website or contact the designated venues for vaccination.

COVID-19 Vaccination Programme Latest News To minimise the risk of serious complications or death after COVID-19 infection, those at high risk, particularly the elderly and persons with underlying comorbidities, should receive a free JN.1 vaccine booster dose as soon as possible if they have received their last dose or had COVID-19 infection more than 6 months ago (whichever is later). Members of the public who have not received the initial dose(s) of the COVID-19 vaccine (including infants and children) should get free JN.1 vaccination as soon as possible.
