Walk in appointments are available in Wolverhampton this week and next for those eligible for the vaccination - which includes people who are aged 65 or over, pregnant, aged 6 months to 64 years in clinical risk groups, live in a care home for older adults, or are a frontline health and social care worker.
Sally Roberts, Chief Nursing Officer for the NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board (ICB), said: “The Covid-19 vaccination programme started in October and since then more than 134,000 people in the Black Country have come forward for a vaccine to get protected.
"We want to encourage everyone who is eligible and yet to receive a vaccine to come forward before it’s too late.
“Covid-19 hasn’t gone away but your protection from previous vaccinations wanes over time, so it’s still important to get your jab if you are eligible. So, please visit our pop up clinics over the next week.”
There are pop up clinics taking place across the Black Country, including the following in Wolverhampton:
- Sainsburys, Bentley Bridge, tomorrow (Thursday 23 January), 11am to 6pm
- Queen Square, Wolverhampton, Friday (24 January), 9am to 3pm
- Sainsburys, Raglan Street, Thursday 30 January, 9am to 3pm.
Flu vaccinations are also on offer at the pop up clinics for those eligible and will remain available until the end of March.
Councillor Jasbir Jaspal, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Adults and Wellbeing, said: "Getting vaccinated will help you stay winter strong and I would encourage anyone who is eligible to take up the offer of a free flu or Covid-19 vaccination, or both.”
