COVID-19 vaccine update
A booster dose of the vaccine is available for everyone aged 18 and over, and some people aged 16 and over. You must have had 2 doses of the vaccine at least 3 months ago.
A booster dose helps improve the protection you have from your first two doses. It helps give you longer-term protection against getting seriously ill from COVID-19.
You can go to walk-ins or book appointments via the NHS website or by calling 119.

COVID-19 testing update
Please keeping taking LFT tests regularly when you don't have symptoms. If you develop symptoms you should book a PCR test online or by calling 119.
People who are fully vaccinated and identified as a contact of someone with COVID-19 (any variant including Omicron) should take an NHS rapid lateral flow test every day for seven days.
If you test positive on the LFT you must isolate and take a PCR test.
This applies to:
Unvaccinated adults are not eligible for daily rapid testing. They must still self-isolate for 10 days if they are a contact of someone who tests positive for COVID-19 (all variants including Omicron) unless eligible for existing workplace daily contact testing.
