The 2026 COVID-19 spring vaccination programme gets under way on Monday 20 April, giving the more vulnerable members of our community the opportunity to top up their protection ahead of any potential waves of COVID-19 over the coming months.

This year’s spring vaccine will be offered to:
• adults aged 75 years old or over;
• residents in a care home for older adults;
• individuals aged 6 months and over who are immunosuppressed, as defined in COVID-19: the green book, chapter 14a.

For further information on the spring top up see www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/covid-19-vaccine

If you don’t smoke, don’t v**e.

10 – 15 v**e puffs roughly provide the same ni****ne as one cigarette.

We want to encourage and support families to have open and engaging conversations with young people to steer them away from these highly addictive products.

For help and advice on talking to your child about va**ng visit, www.pha.site/va**ng

Do you know the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer?

If you’ve had blood in your poo or bleeding from your bottom, a change in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss or a pain or lump in your tummy, and these symptoms last three weeks or more, it’s time to get them checked out.

Chances are it’s not bowel cancer, but if it is, finding it early can make it much more treatable.
