With Covid-19 continuing to be a serious issue and the NHS planning for resurgence of the virus this winter, public health figures are urging those eligible to get their Covid-19 booster vaccine.
As part of this, figures including Professor Neil Watson - who leads the Covid-19 Vaccination programme in the North East and North Cumbria - are to take part in a question and answer session with ChronicleLive on November 22. Taking place at 6pm and streamed on Facebook Live, the event will see reporter Daniel Hall put questions to the experts.
The idea is to address concerns people may have about the vaccines - and ensure the public has up-to-date information about how to access the vaccines, safety, and who is most in need. 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.
