People over the age of 75 or who have a weakened immune system are being urged to take up their offer of a spring Covid booster vaccine.

Dr Judy Jones, programme medical director, said: “Time is running out to get your spring vaccination. It is important everyone being offered a vaccination gets protected ahead of the summer period.

“If you are over 75 or you have a weakened immune system, then please come forward as soon as possible to book a Covid vaccine this spring so you can enjoy summer with peace of mind.

“It is not too late, and I would urge you to book an appointment at your local pharmacy, GP or via the National Booking Service, as soon as possible.”

In Nottinghamshire, there are plenty of vaccination sites at pharmacies, GP sites, at designated health centres and hospital hubs, giving members of the public plenty of choice to find a location convenient to them.

Everyone eligible can get vaccinated by booking an appointment via 119, online or through the NHS App at one of thousands of local sites, including community pharmacies and GP practices.
