Angela Anderson, deputy chief nurse, and clinical director for the Covid-19 vaccination programme at Solent NHS Trust, said: ‘The decision to get your child vaccinated, as a parent or guardian, is yours. Not only can the vaccine help protect your child against serious Covid infection, but it can also decrease the risk of passing on the infection to others and reduce the impact it can have on their education. So, if you or your child have not yet received the vaccine, why not walk-in to one of our centres this half-term.
‘Our fantastic teams have created a child and family friendly atmosphere to ensure that everyone is as comfortable as possible when getting their jabs and we are on hand every step of the way to answer any queries you may have about the vaccine.’
If you would rather book an appointment, slots must be booked via the national booking system at nhs.uk.
