More than 500,000 people across the Midlands are being urged to come forward for a spring dose of the coronavirus vaccine before the seasonal campaign ends this month. The NHS says 712,640 spring vaccinations have been administered across the Midlands so far, more than half of those eligible.
The NHS has been inviting care home residents, people 75 and over and those aged five and over with a weakened immune system to come forward for a jab. But the spring campaign is due to end on June 30, which is also the last chance for those yet to have their first or second covid vaccine dose to come forward.
The NHS will then be moving to a "targeted seasonal offer" for those at increased risk from coronavirus. Around 1.27 million people in the Midlands, including 580,000 in the East Midlands, are eligible for a spring covid jab.
