The NHS winter vaccine programme is now underway, and I am urging eligible Erewash residents to come forward and book their Covid and flu vaccinations.
The vaccine rollout was brought forward this year on latest expert advice following the emergence of a new COVID-19 variant. The NHS is encouraging people to get both vaccinations as soon as they can and not delay, due to the risk of contracting the new COVID-19 variant.
After clean water, I believe vaccinations are the most impactful public health measure possible. So, I am urging eligible residents to book their vaccination appointments immediately.
Erewash residents are able to book their jabs through the NHS website, the NHS App and by calling 119. More information about the NHS Winter vaccination programme can be found online here.
