The Lincolnshire Vaccination Centres are open for those over 40 who want to receive their booster jabs and for youths who want to be vaccinated.
NHS Lincolnshire who are pleading with people to get vaccination with the rise in Omicron cases have announced the dates and places where people can get vaccinated in Lincolnshire.
The Lincolnshire Vaccination Centres are for people over 40s to get their boosters and for the youths to get vaccinated.
The COVID Boosters are now available for anyone who is over 40 who have had their second vaccine at least two months ago.
Martin Fahy, Director of Nursing and Quality, NHS Lincolnshire CCG said: “Given the continued emergence of the Omicron variant and the reintroduction of measures to reduce transmission I want to encourage everyone who hasn’t yet taken up the opportunity to have a COVID vaccine to book at any of the services across Lincolnshire, our teams will be happy to answer any queries you may have and to support you if you are nervous about having a vaccine.
“For those over 40 who had their second vaccine over three months ago please make time to get your booster.
“I am particularly keen to encourage anyone who has any chronic condition or cares for someone and is particularly susceptible to viruses at this time of years to get the protection they need.
“To make it easier for people who are over 18 and in the at-risk group you can walk in at either the PRSA in Boston or the Lincoln showground on Monday 13 December to get your vaccine.
“Since the vaccination programme started the people of Lincolnshire have been absolutely amazing.
“We know that as we move into the festive period you will continue to do everything that you can to look after yourself, your loved ones and everyone living in Lincolnshire.
“So far 280,000 people have had their boosters we are here to ensure that you can get your booster when it is your turn.
Those living in Lincolnshire including Skegness, Boston, Louth, and Lincoln are being encouraged to come forward and get vaccinated.
