Message from Dr John Brewin 

 

Dr John Brewin, Chief Executive, Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Joint Senior Responsible Officer for Covid-19 Vaccine, said: “We are pleased to be able to invite everyone who is over the age of 55 forward for their Covid-19 vaccination.

“I would like to assure you that we have plenty of vaccines available and there is enough for everyone so please do book your appointment as soon as possible if you are eligible.

“Anyone who is eligible can book in for their vaccination via the local booking site or by calling 0115 883 4640. I would urge anyone in this category to take up vaccination to help protect themselves against Covid-19.

“People in the priority groups which have already been announced have not missed their chance to get jabbed. If you haven’t yet taken up the offer, please do come forward and make an appointment – the vaccine is safe, simple, and will offer you and those around you the best protection against this virus. It is never too late to change your mind if you have previously said no.”
