Covid: Walk-in vaccines available across Norfolk

Various centres across Norfolk will offer walk-in vaccinations

Walk-in vaccinations are available to those eligible at centres in Norfolk.

Those eligible are people aged 40-49 who had their second dose six months ago and 16 to 17-year-olds who had their first dose 12 weeks ago.

Although walk-ins will be offered at a number of sites, people can still book appointments online.

NHS Norfolk and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) said it would "strongly encourage" people to get their vaccine or booster.

• Scientists to announce advice on booster rollout

• 'Test much more' plea after Omicron cases found

• Covid-19 variant case linked to primary school

The CCG's chief nurse Cath Byford said it was "great news" walk-in appointments were now available.

"The vast majority of those being hospitalised with serious illness from Covid-19 are those who have not been vaccinated," she said.

"Vaccines are the best way to protect yourselves and your loved ones, and reducing Covid-related hospital admissions will help the NHS cope better during the winter months and reduce disruption to routine and planned care."
