THE Department of Health is encouraging all adults eligible for their booster to get the jab at one of the many vaccination clinics in operation this week.

All those aged over 18 who received their second dose at least three months ago, can now take up the opportunity to get boosted.

The programme has seen a sharp acceleration in recent weeks with latest figures showing that more than 50 per cent of those eligible for their booster have now received it.

Vaccination teams working in Trusts, pharmacies and GPs have worked hard to provide the population with this strengthened protection and will continue to do so with clinics operating throughout the North in the lead up to Christmas Day.

Boosters are also being provided by GPs and community pharmacies. A new feature on the online booking platform gives you instant information on vaccination clinics near you.

You can type in your postcode or town and find out about all the Trust and pharmacy clinics close to your home here.
