That’s why having both your Covid and flu vaccination is so important. Read more about protecting yourself against flu on the Manchester Health and Care Commissioning website. If you’ve had both doses of your Covid vaccine you will be invited for a booster to give you the most protection possible; If you need your second dose, please don’t delay booking it. And, if you have changed your mind after previously declining the vaccine, please get in touch and take up the offer. Who is eligible for the COVID-19 vaccination? Everyone aged 12 and over is now eligible for at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, and 16 and 17 year olds can have a second dose. To find out how many vaccination doses you can get, and how and where you’ll be able to receive your jabs, visit the NHS website. Those who need it most are also able to have a third dose, or a booster vaccine. Anyone aged 12 and over with a severely weakened immune system who has received two jabs, will be offered a third dose of the vaccine. This third dose is not a ‘booster’. Booster jabs will be offered 6 months after people receive their second dose, to: people aged 40 and over people who live and work in care homes frontline health and social care workers people aged 16 and over with a health condition that puts them at high risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19 people aged 16 and over who are a main carer for someone at high risk from COVID-19 people aged 16 and over who live with someone who is more likely to get infections (such as someone who has HIV, has had a transplant or is having certain treatments for cancer, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis) People who are pregnant and in 1 of the eligible groups can also get a booster dose. Find out more about the third dose and booster jabs on the NHS website.   Vaccination sites in Manchester There are 13 vaccination sites and vaccination pop-ups across Manchester. Contacting you about your COVID-19 vaccination In Manchester there are three ways you might be contacted to get your vaccination: Most people will be contacted by their GP practice, which will book them into their local Vaccination Centre; these are run by local GP practices working together. You might be contacted by your local hospital as an outpatient or inpatient. If you are eligible and haven’t already been vaccinated, you will receive a letter from the national booking service inviting you to book online or call 119 to book an appointment at a local pharmacy-run vaccination centre in the city or at the mass vaccination centre at the National Tennis Centre (Etihad Campus). Why is the vaccine important? Having the vaccine will be the best way to protect the most vulnerable people from coronavirus and has the potential to save tens of thousands of lives.
