COVID-19 2nd Vaccination
Second dose of the life-saving COVID-19 vaccination is vital for maximum protection.
If you have had the first part of your life-saving COVID-19 vaccination, it’s absolutely vital that you take up the offer of the second part which is now due for everyone 8 weeks after the first dose.
Vaccinations offer the best protection against coronavirus and are hugely important in helping us to lead a more normal life as restrictions begin to ease. The second dose gives everyone the strongest possible protection against COVID-19, so it’s crucial that you take up this offer as soon as you are invited.
More than 623,000 people are now fully vaccinated having received the second part of their vaccination.
Recent evidence shows that some people are mistakenly thinking that they are vaccinated with just one dose, but a second jab is vital. Remember, the most effective protection comes from having both doses of the vaccine, so it’s important you do not put off your appointment for your second jab if you have already had your first.
Within the Black Country and West Birmingham area, we are continuing to offer walk-in and bookable appointments in a number of community locations so that everyone is able to go and get their first or second dose of the vaccine near to where they live or work and at a time that suits them
