Have you had your second Covid-19 vaccination yet?
If you had your first dose over eight weeks ago, you need to make sure you get your second dose arranged as soon as possible.
With Covid-19 cases on the rise, leading South West London GP Dr Nicola Jones is encouraging everyone to get two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine.
“The first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine offers a high level of protection, but to get maximum and longer-lasting protection, that second jab is vital. So, I would urge everyone who is eligible to get it as soon as possible,” she said.
“If you had your first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine on or before mid-April, we’re now inviting you to one of the walk-in clinics we’ve organised to make things quicker and easier for you – no appointment is needed.”
You can find a link to all available walk-in clinics here. They include Centre Court Wimbledon which is holding walk-in clinics until 20 June.
Alternatively, book or manage your existing appointment here.
Councillor Clare Salier, Cabinet member for adult care and health said:
“Being double vaccinated is the only way to ensure you’re getting the maximum protection for yourself and for your loved ones.
“So, please do your bit and get your Covid-19 vaccine, as soon as you are eligible and make sure you get that all-important second jab.”
Last week, Wandsworth Council spoke to people who’d just had their second Covid-19 vaccinations at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Roehampton,
“I’ve just my second jab and I feel really happy. I would strongly advise everyone who hasn’t had their second or even first jab to go and have it done as soon as possible!” Natalie.
“I was very ill with Covid-19 in January and it was rotten. You don’t want to go through that. I recommend anybody who hasn’t had the vaccination yet to go and get it. One of my sons has diabetes and I have to protect him too. Don’t miss out.” Maura
