Covid boosters in East Sussex: When and where you can get the booster
and live on Freeview channel 276
The booster programme went live September 7 and so far more than 116,748 booster vaccines have been given out across Sussex since the autumn programme started. A spokesperson for NHS Sussex said: “Covid-19 is still with us and people can still become very ill. Having your booster will ensure you continue to have the best protection against Coronavirus through the winter months. If you are one of those eligible, it is as important as ever to get your next dose, so please do come forward as soon as possible. As well as protecting you and the people around you, vaccination also helps the NHS by reducing the number of people that are likely to get seriously ill from catching a virus and needing to go to hospital. Vaccinations are rigorously tested to the highest safety standards.”
Who can get it?
People aged 65 years and older, residents in care homes for older people, those aged five years and over in a clinical risk group and health and social care staff will be offered the booster this autumn. A booster will also be offered to front-line health and social care staff, those who care for vulnerable individuals and families of individuals with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women. In the coming weeks, people aged 50 to 64 years old who are not in any of these groups will also be able to get an autumn booster vaccination.
