 Urgent national appeal for all adults to book their booster jab
If you’re aged 18 or over, you can now book a booster appointment as long as it has been three months since your second dose.
Please book your appointment online or call 119 to book your booster dose.
There are more than 55 sites across Nottinghamshire offering the booster dose. If you can’t find a slot at a suitable clinic, or you end up in a booking queue due to busy lines, keep checking back as appointments get updated regularly. Also, please consider using the vaccination sites at Mansfield Wickes and King’s Mill Hospital if you can travel, where there are often free appointments.
Jonathan Gribbin, Director of Public Health for Nottinghamshire is urging everyone to go out and get boosted. Watch his video message here.
There is an evergreen offer for anyone who would like their first or second Covid-19 vaccine. Please don’t hesitate to book your appointment online or call 119. It's never too late to get protected.
The Government announced new rules for those who are identified as contacts of someone with Covid-19. Fully vaccinated contacts of someone with Covid-19 should take rapid lateral flow tests every day for 7 days.
The lateral flow test should be taken before you leave home for the first time that day.
If you test positive or develop symptoms, you need to self-isolate for 10 days.

With so much information out there about Covid-19 and the new variant Omicron, it's all the more important to make sure that you're only getting information from trusted and official sources.
Unfortunately scammers are trying to impersonate organisations such as the NHS to get people to "apply now for Omicron PCR test to avoid restrictions."
Please be aware that these communications are FAKE and that they are likely an attempt to gain access to your personal information, including bank details.
