Get your flu jab or Covid-19 vaccine at Walsall Campus on 5 December

23/11/2022
NHS graphic for flu and Covid-19 vaccine this winter. It reads: Do the double for England. Get your flu and Covid-19 booster vaccine.

A nationwide campaign has been launched as part of the Department for Health and Social Care, UK Health Security Agency and NHS England’s call to the public to get their Covid-19 booster and flu jabs to protect themselves this winter.

The pop-up clinic at Walsall Campus aims to enable easy access to staff and students.

Covid-19 and flu spread more quickly in winter and can cause serious illness. The protection provided by Covid-19 vaccines also decreases over time, and flu viruses can change every year. So, if you’re 50 or over, in an at-risk group or pregnant, boost your immunity now with the flu vaccine and Covid-19 booster for your best protection.

WHEN: Monday, 5 December 2022, 10am to 4pm

WHERE: Samuel Johnson Building, Walsall Campus
