If you are over 75 years old, aged 6 months and over and immunosuppressed or a resident of a care home for older adults, you can now get your COVID-19 spring vaccination.

COVID-19 spreads easily all year round. It can still be very dangerous and even life threatening, particularly for older people and those with a weakened immune system.

The NHS will be sending invites to those who are eligible.

MEET THE TEAM: Nurse Alejandra Cornforth

I am delighted to be a part of the team here at GAB. I am a registered nurse with previous experience as a practice nurse and the prison service. I started my healthcare journey on an acute ward when I was a 16 year old apprentice and never looked back.

I am passionate about patient care and aim to provide positive experiences throughout patient journeys.

Outside of work I have my own little family that I love to bits.
