The South Eastern Health & Social Care Trust has launched its Winter Vaccination Programme for COVID-19 & Flu vaccinations “Wrap Yourself Up For Winter – Get Vaccinated.”
The vaccination programme to date has been a huge success, saving many lives and allowing us to live with COVID-19, it has also eased pressures on the Health Service.
Welcoming the launch of the Winter Vaccination Programme, Lead Nurse, Kate McGarrigle said, “As we move through the winter, it is never been more important to get vaccinated to not only protect yourself, but to protect your loved ones.”
