POSTER Vaccines_JoinTheMillions
Every vaccination gives us hope.
The NHS is now in its second phase of the Covid-19 vaccination programme. Many more people will soon be invited to join the millions already vaccinated. Here’s everything you need to know about the next phase of the rollout.
The best way out of this pandemic
The vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and those around you from the virus.
Vaccinated people are far less likely to get symptoms from Covid-19. And are even more unlikely to get seriously ill, be admitted to hospital, or to die from it. There’s growing evidence that vaccinated people are less likely to pass the virus to others.
The vaccine reduces chances of hospitalisation by 85%.
The vaccine has now been offered to the most vulnerable groups in our society. All adults aged between 18 and 49 are now being prioritised in age-descending order. The NHS will let you know when your vaccine is ready for you.
It’s the biggest vaccination programme in NHS history and has already saved thousands of lives by preventing the spread of Covid-19.
How much protection will the vaccine give me?
For maximum protection, you need to get two doses, so it’s important you go back when you are contacted.
Even after having the Covid-19 vaccine, it’s essential that everyone continues to follow Covid-19 restrictions whether they have had the vaccine or not.
To follow social-distancing guidance, wear a face covering and remember hands, face, space and fresh air.
