The coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines are safe and effective. They give you the best protection against COVID-19.
Everyone aged 16 or over can get vaccinated – it’s free and protects you and the people around you. Thousands of appointments are available across the city every week, with drop-ins and pop-ups making it easier than ever to get vaccinated.
