COVID-19 vaccination is an important part of protecting yourself if you're at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19.

The COVID-19 vaccines are offered because viruses change and protection fades over time. It's important to top up your protection if you're eligible.

Getting the COVID-19 vaccine can:

• help reduce your risk of getting severe symptoms
• help you recover more quickly if you catch COVID-19
• help reduce your risk of having to go to hospital or dying from COVID-19
• protect against different types of COVID-19 virus

You can get a COVID-19 vaccine if you:

• are aged 75 or over (including those who will be 75 by 17 June 2025)
• are aged 6 months to 74 years and have a weakened immune system because of a health condition or treatment
• live in a care home for older adults

IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO BE VACCINATED. Our last vaccination clinic in Sawston is being held on Monday 2nd June, from 9am to 1pm.
