Walk In Covid Vaccination Clinics
|
|
We are asking everyone in Somerset to get up to date with the Covid vaccinations they are eligible for. The vaccination remains our best form of defence against Covid and can also help business continuity.
|
|
It is never too late to get the first or second dose of the Covid-19 vaccination for anyone aged 12+, and booster for anyone aged 18+. These are widely available at both walk in clinics and pre bookable appointments.
