The manager of Nottingham's vaccine hub has said Covid is still a threat to people across the county as she urged residents to take up their boosters. Those aged between 50 and 64 are now able to book their autumn booster jabs.
Jess Waterhouse, who helps run Haydn Road Vaccination Centre at the Courtaulds Building, said it was incredibly important to stay updated on their vaccinations ahead of the winter. The latest estimates from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) suggest one in 37 people in the UK has coronavirus, a rise from one in 50 the week before.
Public health officials in Nottinghamshire have previously issued important advice over concerns of the prospect of a 'twindemic' - a combination of flu and Covid-19 which could put pressure on the NHS this winter. "It's incredibly important because we know immunity from this vaccination does wane over time so this is another booster," Ms Waterhouse said.
