Last weekend people across the city took the opportunity to grab their jab at walk-in vaccination clinics and the NHS in Leeds is reminding people the offer is still open.
People aged 18 or over can have their vaccine by attending a walk-in clinic or to book an appointment using the NHS website (www.nhs.uk/CovidVaccine).
Dr Jason Broch, a GP in Leeds and Chair of NHS Leeds Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “We’re urging people aged 18 or over to have their COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible. Across Leeds we have walk-in clinics, which are being added every week and you don’t need an appointment. If people prefer to book an appointment, they can do so through the national booking system on the NHS website. We know the infection rates are high in Leeds and we all have a part to play to bring them down, and having the vaccine is one of the ways we can control the virus.
“Second doses have been brought forward to eight weeks for people over the age of 40 following evidence showing how important the second jab is in protecting people against the Delta variant that is now spreading across the country. Giving these at eight weeks will still ensure the vaccines provide people with the maximum protection against Covid-19.
“Having the vaccine is the best way to protect yourself, keep friends and family safe. Please encourage your friends and loved ones to do the same, as the more of us who are vaccinated, the safer we all are, and the sooner life can return to normal.”
