Autumn Covid-19 vaccine roll-out to 'double your defences' ahead of uncertain winter

As the autumn Covid-19 vaccine roll-out gets under way, two Seaham pharmacists have shown how easy it is to get the latest jab.

The latest vaccine is bivalent - meaning it tackles both the Omicron Covid-19 strain and the earlier variation seen - and is now being given to the most vulnerable groups in our communities. The first people to be invited include those over 65, those who have serious health conditions or are immuno-suppressed.

Also targeted are pregnant women, care home residents, carers, and those working in health and social care. At Knights Pharmacy, Pete Horrocks is both helping to administer the vaccines and also - as a frontline healthcare worker - had the jab himself.
