An unpaid adult carer is someone who provides or intends to provide care for an adult or disabled person – but does not have a contract and is not doing the role as voluntary work.
Unpaid carers can be both adults and children, but only those unpaid carers who are over the age of 16 will be receiving a COVID-19 vaccine as part of priority group 6.
For more information on why unpaid carers under 16 years old are not receiving COVID-19 vaccines under this group, please see the question ‘Why aren’t child carers (under 16) being offered the vaccine?’ below.
