Vaccinations - you will be called
There is no charge for the COVID-19 vaccine.
People most at risk from the complications of COVID-19 are being offered the vaccine first. The NHS will contact you when it's your turn to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
More than 447,000 people have had their vaccines in the Midlands region - the most vaccines across all the regions in the UK.
In the mean time, if you have symptoms please book a test

Remember - shop safely, save lives
Supermarkets are pledging to make it safer for customers and their staff so if you do have to go out to get essential items, please choose shops taking safety seriously.
 Wear a face covering
 Keep at least 2 metres apart from other shoppers
 Wash or sanitise your hands regularly and as soon as you get home
|
 Shop alone if you can
 Use contactless payments if possible
 Do not touch items you are not going to buy
 Avoid shopping at busy times if you can
This is a dangerous time, especially for the older members of our community who are at greater risk of severe illness and death.
We all need to do our bit to protect ourselves and others.

Help prevent youth homelessness during Covid-19
For any teenager, experiencing family breakdown is one of the most challenging things that they could ever face. The risk of homelessness for 16 - 18 year olds leaves them worrying even more during the Covid-19 pandemic, as many teenagers are left wondering what will happen and where they will go.
The YMCA Open Door project has been placing young people at risk of homelessness with host families for 11 years, but at this particular time, there is even more need for more hosts – people who have a spare room within their house and a caring heart.
Hosts receive over £100 per week while a young person is staying with them.
For more information visit the YMCA Black Country website, email opendoor@ymcabc.org.uk or call 0121 524 3255.
