Over 50s Across Harborough Invited To Book Covid Vaccination

People aged 50 and over across Harborough are being invited to get a Coronavirus vaccine- if they have not yet been invited for one.

Jabs are being given at three hospitals in Leicester, the Fielding Palmer Hospital in Lutterworth and Loughborough Hospital.

Leicestershire’s NHS say people can book to have vaccine at one of five hospital hub sites, or wait for their GP to contact them.

People need to book their appointment on-line.
