Milestone Reached As Over 30,000 Covid Autumn Booster Jabs Given

Written by on 22nd November 2022

Over 30,000 people living in the Harborough district have had a Covid autumn booster jab.

Latest NHS figures show 69% of population aged 50 and over have received the vaccine, along with others who are entitled to it because of work or a medical condition.

NHS leaders are encouraging people who have yet to have the jab to take up the offer.
