Trained NHS staff will be vaccinating eligible members of the public and answering any questions about the vaccination. Everyone who is eligible is being urged to pop down and get protected.
Julia Rosevear, COVID Vaccination Locality Manager, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for people living in Bestwood and the surrounding areas to quickly get protected ahead of the Christmas period where we know illnesses spread rapidly.

“We are encouraging people who are over 65 or at very high risk to come down as a priority. This includes people who are immunosuppressed or people who have long term health conditions. It is important that anyone who is eligible gets the vaccination, it is the best protection against falling very unwell over the Christmas period.”
