THE NHS is rolling out its Covid-19 vaccination programme for vulnerable community members.

Those aged 75 and over, live in an older adult care home or who have a weakened immune system will be eligible.

The roll-out comes as recent data by the UK Health Security Agency showed that those who received a vaccine last Spring were 45% less likely to be hospitalised with Covid-19 compared to those who were not vaccinated.

Matthew Missen, from the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board, said:

> “Covid-19 is still a serious threat to older adults and people living with a weakened immune system because of a health condition or treatment.  
>  
> “This booster helps strengthen immunity and reduces the risk of severe illness and hospitalisation.  
>  
> “If you’re eligible, please don’t wait – book your appointment as soon as you’re invited.”

Eligible people can book their free vaccine now via the NHS App, the [NHS website](https://www.nhs.uk/bookcovid?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk), or by calling 119.

The programme will run until 17th June.
