Spring Covid-19 vaccinations open for bookings
Those who are eligible can now book appointments for their spring Covid-19 vaccination at sites across the east of England.Those invited to come forward to get protected from the virus include people at increased risk from severe illness, anyone aged 75 or over (on 30 June 2024), people with a weakened immune system or those who live in an older adult care home.
These groups can simply book a vaccine appointment via the NHS website or by calling 119 for free, with parents or carers able to book a Covid-19 vaccination for children under 16 on their behalf. Eligible people aged 16 and over can also use the NHS App to book an appointment.
Appointments are available daily across the region and are also offered at pharmacies, GP surgeries, plus walk-in options, as listed online.
“Remember that over time any antibodies you once had after catching the virus, or from a previous vaccination starts to fade. It is therefore very important to top-up that protection.
Covid-19 is still considered a dangerous, life-threatening virus, especially for the elderly and those with a weakened immune system. By getting vaccinated, patients receive extra protection against new variants and spreading the virus. It also reduces the risk of serious illness, being hospitalised, and possible death.
The Spring Covid vaccination programme will run until until 30 June 2024.
