Vaccinations are one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect not only yourself but also those around you.
Martin Sale, Lead Pharmacist working on vaccinations at Dorset HealthCare said,
“Walk in clinics are a great opportunity for people like frontline health and care staff in the area to nip in and help protect themselves, their colleagues, and vulnerable people they work with against this serious illness.
“Other people who can have the flu and COVID-19 vaccinations include people over 65 and those who are living with certain long term health conditions.
“If you’re not sure if you can have the vaccination, come and chat with the team, we will be happy to check for you. Just turn up, no appointment needed and get yourself or someone you care for vaccinated against these illnesses.”
Flu and COVID-19 are highly contagious viruses that can lead to serious health complications, particularly for older adults, young children, and those with weakened immune systems. Getting vaccinated against illnesses such as flu and COVID-19 reduces your risk of getting seriously ill and helps to prevent the spread of these viruses throughout the community.
Anyone eligible can book their flu and COVID-19 vaccinations via the NHS website, by downloading the NHS App, or by calling 119 for free if they can’t get online.
Details about future walk in clinic dates will be published on the website www.staywelldorset.nhs.uk/vaccinations along with more information about vaccinations.
