“ World Immunisation Week is a great opportunity to highlight the importance of getting vaccinated at every stage in life to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
A crucial part of this protection is the spring COVID-19 vaccine, which will provide up to date protection against COVID-19. It will help keep you safe and reduce the risk of going into hospital. I would encourage eligible Walsall residents to come forward as soon as possible. “
“ The vaccine has been our most effective tool against COVID-19, saving countless lives and helping thousands of people to stay out of hospital.
However, protection against COVID-19, from either catching the virus or from a previous vaccination, can fade over time and the circulating strain of the virus can change. That’s why if you are at higher risk of severe illness from the virus, it is important that you top up your protection and come forward for a vaccine this spring.
If you know you’re eligible, you don’t need to wait to be contacted, you can book an appointment via the NHS website, the NHS App or by calling 119 today. “
