• The coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine is safe and effective. It will give you the best protection against coronavirus
• The vaccine is one part of our defence – we still need to continue with ‘hands, face, space’.
• The NHS will let you know when it is your turn to have the vaccine. It is important not to contact the NHS for a vaccination before then.
People over 80 can now get the MHRA approved vaccine. Remember, you need two doses to be protected from Covid-19. You’ll be contacted when it’s your turn. Find out about the roll-out at nhs.uk/CovidVaccine
Confidence building: You cannot catch coronavirus from the Covid-19 vaccine.
