Eligible urged to get Covid-19 autumn boosters

NHS Sussex has delivered over 220,000 Covid-19 vaccines so far this year, according to the integrated care board.

Those eligible for an autumn Covid-19 booster are being urged by NHS Sussex to get their jabs.

Special clinics are being held across Sussex including a walk-in site at St. Peter's Square on Wednesday at 15:30 GMT.

Patients can also pre-book vaccinations online, via the phone or on the NHS app.

Dr Andrew Hodson, deputy chief medical officer at NHS Sussex is encouraging "as many people as possible" to get their vaccine.

Those eligible include all adults aged over 65, residents in a care home for older adults, frontline health and social care workers and people in a clinical risk group.

NHS Sussex will also be holding quiet vaccination sessions for patients who need a quieter environment.

Anyone eligible looking to book a vaccine must do so before 20 December.

Patients may also be offered a flu vaccination in the same appointment.
