If you're now eligible, you can book your jab on the NHS website, the NHS app or by calling 119 – it only takes a few minutes. <\/p>\n
GP practices and other local NHS services will also be contacting people to offer Covid vaccines and it's likely you'll be invited to have a flu jab at the same time. <\/p>\n
NHS Director for vaccinations and screening Steve Russell said: \u201cVaccines are our best protection against flu and Covid-19, and I strongly encourage all eligible people to come forward for their lifesaving winter vaccines as soon as they can.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new Covid variant presents a new risk, but NHS staff are rising to the challenge once more to do all they can to protect the public."<\/p>\n
He urged eligible groups to come forward and book their vaccine as soon as possible. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at UKHSA, said: \u201cWe are already seeing a slow rise in cases of COVID-19, as well as increases in hospitalisations, particularly among the over 75s.<\/p>\n
\u201cOlder people and those in clinical risk groups remain at higher risk of severe illness, so it\u2019s important all those eligible come forward when offered and get protected against flu and COVID.\u201d<\/p>\n
