NHS Sussex is encouraging individuals who meet the criteria for an autumn Covid-19 booster to receive their vaccinations. Dedicated clinics are available throughout Sussex, featuring a walk-in location at St. Peter’s Square, operational on Wednesday at 15:30 GMT. Appointments for vaccinations can also be scheduled in advance online, by telephone, or through the NHS app. Dr Andrew Hodson, deputy chief medical officer at NHS Sussex, is advocating for “as many people as possible” to receive their vaccine. Eligibility criteria encompass all adults over 65 years of age, residents of care homes for older adults, frontline health and social care personnel, and individuals categorized within a clinical risk group. Furthermore, NHS Sussex plans to conduct quiet vaccination sessions specifically for patients requiring a more subdued setting. Individuals who are eligible and wish to book a vaccine appointment are required to do so prior to 20 December. During the same appointment, patients might also be provided with a flu vaccination.
