If you are over 75 or immunosuppressed, the COVID-19 spring booster can protect you from getting seriously ill💚

Like all medicines, vaccines can cause side effects such as:
• feeling sore where you had the injection
• achy, like you have flu
• tired
• headache

Most side effects are mild, only last a day or two and not everyone gets them.

To book an appointment - contact the surgery, ask at reception or book through the online services or NHS App.
