A number of vaccination appointments are currently available for residents who are eligible at the Riverside Vaccination Centre in Newport, including those who are 45 years and over.
Take-up of the vaccine has been exceptionally strong; 5 out of 6 people in the first 9 priority groups have already chosen to take up the offer. This offer remains on the table, so if you are in these groups and haven’t take it up yet, there is still time.
Eligible people should book online https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/coronavirus-vaccine/ or call 119. If residents attempt to book online but appointments slots are full, they should continue to keep checking the national booking system as more appointments will become available – people do not have to travel to the mainland for a vaccination appointment unless they choose to do so.
The Riverside Vaccination Centre in Newport is open 7 days a week, 08:00-20:00 and people can choose an appointment slot best suited to them.
If you receive an invitation from your GP, do act on it as soon as possible so that you can join the millions of others who are helping to protect themselves and others, and continue our progress back towards normal life.
Vaccinations continue to be offered to those in line with recommendations from the independent JCVI.
No thank you thought it’s all over now
Oh Bob, do you really believe it’s all over? Sorry to tell you, it is not. The most responsible thing people can do to try and stop the spread and protect themselves and their loved ones is, GET THE VACCINE.
People like you must definitely have the vaccine, and that will make you happy, and us!
Well you thought wrong. It is here forever.
just like flu – and the jab is also optional
