Weekly reports

Get Boosted Now
The COVID-19 booster rollout has been extended and accelerated to help people stay safer this winter and protect them against any potential threat from the new Omicron variant.

Everyone is urged to get their jabs as soon as they are eligible.

To find out when you are eligible or if you have any questions about the COVID-19 vaccination, please visit the local NHS Frequently Asked Questions page or the page dedicated to boosters.

The NHS has stepped up the vaccination campaign to provide more opportunities for people to get their first, second or booster vaccine at locations across BLMK. They offer pre-booked appointments and walk-ins.

Find out where you can walk in to get your vaccine

Anyone who has difficulty getting to the vaccine centres can book FREE transport through our Vaxi Cab service.
