Elderly and vulnerable people in England are receiving invitations by text or letter for their additional or spring Covid-19 booster. However there is no need to wait, you can book your booster now. With concern about rising infections, some patients in Rye have already booked and been vaccinated.
The offer of either Pfizer or Moderna vaccine is to those aged 75 and over or are immunosuppressed. It has to be at least six months since the last jab.
The vaccination centre at Tilling Green Community Centre is provided by Clarity Chemists and supported by trained vaccinators and community volunteers. Opening times are at @ryepfizer.
