🦠 WHAT ABOUT COVID?
COVID vaccination guidance for this winter has not yet been fully released, so eligibility may change.
At present, COVID vaccination eligibility is expected to include people aged 75 and over, but this is subject to change. This means that even if you are currently expecting to be eligible, you may not be eligible when you attend your appointment.
We’ll share further information as soon as the guidance is confirmed.
💙 Please only book a vaccine appointment if you are eligible.
Let’s get protected this winter! 🍂💉
