Eligible residents can receive their flu and COVID-19 seasonal jabs at a series of free walk-in vaccination clinics around the borough this month.

Looking after your health and wellbeing, as well as that of others, as we head into the new year is important. Vaccines offer the best protection against flu and COVID-19.

There are a variety of pop-up clinics happening around the borough between now and the end of January for those who are eligible to receive their seasonal vaccines.

If you have any questions or concerns about the vaccines, you can come along and have a chat, with no pressure to get a jab.

No appointments are required, you can just walk in.
