Plea for us to get booster jabs in Essex
The County Council's encouraging those eligible to accept the vaccine
Last updated 26th Nov 2021
We're being encouraged to get our covid booster jabs in Essex.
The County Council wants over 40s to urgently book their appointment for their third vaccine dose, as soon as possible.
Cllr John Spence, who is responsible for Health and Adult Social Care in Essex said:
“I am urging residents to please take up their booster vaccine as soon as possible. This is the most urgent priority in our fight against Covid-19 – we need to get boosters in the arms of everyone who is over 40 years old.
“One in six people in Essex over the age of 80, and one in 4 people over 70 have still yet to get their booster. Getting the booster means they are far less likely to suffer complications of the virus as their immunity from their first two doses starts to wane.”
