Dr Andrea Sanabria, interim director of Public Health, said: “Vaccination is one of the best ways to protect yourself against serious illness from flu, Covid-19 and RSV, particularly for those who are more vulnerable to becoming seriously unwell.
“I encourage everyone who is eligible to take up the offer of vaccination by booking an appointment with their GP or, for flu vaccinations, visiting a participating pharmacy.
“Getting vaccinated as early as possible in the season will help ensure you have the best possible protection over the winter months.”
