NHS in Bedford to offer Covid autumn boosters

Bedford will join the rest of the country and launch autumn boosters from next week (September 5).

The life-saving booster jab will be available for the most vulnerable – which means everyone aged 50 and over as well as those who are at highest risk from serious illness such as pregnant women and people with long-term health conditions as well as frontline health and social care workers.

As with previous vaccination phases, they will be called first, with people able to book in online or through 119, provided it has been three months since their last dose.

Vaccinations will start with care homes. The offer will then be opened up to the remaining eligible groups.

Flu vaccines will also be available to everyone aged over 50 from September. These will be available for eligible people to book via their GPs or pharmacy.

There are still a number of pop-up vaccination sessions for anyone needing a first, second or third booster
