A poster reminds people. A trusted neighbour persuades them.

If you know someone who’s more vulnerable or less likely to get out, a quick word from you could be what gets them vaccinated.

Village halls, parish councils, community buildings and local groups can help residents stay informed by sharing trusted vaccination information.

There’s a lot of information out there - see the NHS link below for the full picture on eligibility and booking.

At Action in rural Sussex we have also created flyers listing COVID vaccination clinic dates taking place across Sussex this winter.

If you would like an online version of our poster or flyers, get in touch at [email protected]
