Getting your COVID-19 vaccination as soon as you are offered one should protect you and may help to protect your family and those you care for. The COVID-19 vaccine should help reduce the rates of serious illness and save lives and will therefore reduce pressure on the NHS and social care services.

If you are aged 30 or over, you’re a frontline health or social care workers, you receive a Carers Allowance, have a learning disability, are clinically extremely vulnerable (high risk) or clinically vulnerable (moderate risk) – you can book your vaccine online or call 119 without needing an invitation.
