Clinics for January and February will take place on the following dates:

Those who are eligible and yet to have their vaccines are encouraged to come forward, particularly older adults, pregnant women and parents and carers, to ensure they and their children are protected.
Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent serious illness, reduce hospital admissions and protect vulnerable members of the community, including babies who are too young to be vaccinated.
“ Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and those around you from serious illness. By bringing these clinics into the heart of our communities, we’re making it easier for everyone to stay healthy and reduce the risk of outbreaks. If you’re eligible, please take this opportunity to get vaccinated and help keep you, your loved ones and the wider community safe. You can also contact your GP or speak to your midwife to find out more. “
“ By expanding the range of vaccines available at our mobile clinics, we’re making it easier than ever for people to get protected close to home. Whether you’re pregnant, caring for a young child, or looking after your own health as you get older, these vaccines can make a real difference. “
RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) can be especially serious for older adults and newborn babies. Vaccinating pregnant women helps protect babies from birth, while vaccinating older adults reduces the risk of severe illness and hospitalisation. Similarly, the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine during pregnancy provides vital early protection for newborns, and MMR vaccination protects children and communities against outbreaks of measles, mumps and rubella.
Mobile clinics are walk-in, convenient and accessible, with no appointment needed.
