To mark five years since the start of the pandemic, Dorset Council is to hold an informal gathering in Dorchester.

Vaccinations are available for those over the age of 75, care home residents and immunosuppressed people.

The NHS Covid-19 vaccination programme has delivered more than a million autumn Covid jabs in a week since national bookings started.

Millions of eligible people will now be offered a Covid vaccine from 11 September, in line with the latest expert guidance on the new Covid variant.

Those eligible are the over-75s, people living in a care home and those aged five and over with a weakened immune system.

Some walk-in opportunities are still available during February, with bookable appointments available during the year.

The booster programme ends on 12 February, so time is running out if you want to get a Covid-19 jab at a pop-up clinic.

It isn’t too late for people to get both their COVID and flu jabs and information is available from dorsethealthcare.nhs.uk.

Since the start of September, 22,000 people have received their Covid-19 booster jab and those eligible are urged to take up the invitation.

The lifesaving autumn booster rollout starts in care homes in England today as part of the NHS Covid-19 vaccination programme.
