IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The Prime Minister announced on 12th December that COVID boosters are to be offered to everyone over 18 (who had their second dose of the vaccine at least three months ago).
We are awaiting further details tomorrow and would ask the public to be patient and to please NOT ring their GP practice.
Additional clinics will be made available in North East Lincolnshire, and the local CCG will also update any local walk-in sites on the CCG walk in clinic page which you can find at www.northeastlincolnshireccg.nhs.uk/covid-19/vaccineclinics/
