Covid booster jab walk in centres in Lancashire: Where to get third vaccine near me and how to book an appointment
Due to the emergence of the Omicron variant of coronavirus, the government is encouraging everyone over the age of 18 to get a booster shot to help protect them against a coming 'tidal wave' of Omicron infections.
A coronavirus (COVID-19) booster vaccine dose helps improve the protection you have from your first two doses of the vaccine.
It helps give you longer-term protection against getting seriously ill from COVID-19.
Dr Nikki Kanani, GP and deputy lead for the NHS covid-19 vaccination programme said: “NHS staff are making it as easy as possible for people to get their top-up vaccination, and from today people can now go online, find their nearest site and go and get their booster without delay.
“The booster is not just a nice to have – it is really important protection ahead of what we know will be a challenging winter."
