The National Health Service across the United Kingdom will prioritise giving the first dose of the vaccine to those in the most high-risk groups but everyone will still receive their second dose and this will be within 12 weeks of their first. The second dose completes the course and is important for longer term protection.

When an appointment is booked at a vaccination centre, two appointments will be made at the same time.
