We can now enjoy being back and can start to take part in many of the activities we haven’t been able to for what feels like such a long time:
- Going on holiday
- Going to sports events
- Meeting family and friends in larger numbers and indoors
- Going to nightclubs
- Enjoying live music and festivals
The virus is still a concern so we must still be cautious. Being double vaxxed is a way for us to feel confident in taking part in all these activities again without the risk of getting Covid or passing it on, particularly to vulnerable groups.
If you are aged 18+ and you live in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, you will find details on this page about how to get your vaccine.
Drop-in Clinics
You can attend a drop-in clinic even if you aren’t registered with a GP or you don’t have an NHS number. Anyone who had their first dose at least eight weeks ago can attend the clinics to have their second dose of the same vaccine.
