The NHS continues to urge the public to get vaccinated and it is now easier than ever to grab a jab with many sites offering walk in appointments. All sites are offering first, second and booster jabs to those who have not yet finished their course of vaccines, but health bosses are also encouraging 5-11s as well as those eligible for a spring booster to come forward and boost their immunity.
Over 34,000 5-11-year-olds in the Midlands have now been booked in for the Covid-19 vaccine and there are plenty of appointments available at clinics across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
Book your Covid-19 jab: You can book on the NHS website or call 119.
