NHS urges over 65s and vulnerable to get flu and Covid jabs

NHS urges over 65s and vulnerable to get flu and Covid jabs

NHS bosses are urging eligible people in Leicestershire and Rutland to book free flu and Covid-19 vaccinations as the annual programme began on Thursday. These jabs are “vitally important” for protecting the most vulnerable and stopping viruses spreading faster in colder months. Those over 65, pregnant women, and care home residents are among those encouraged to get vaccinated before winter.
