After Sunday, February 12 booster vaccine appointments cannot be booked via the National Booking System but booster vaccines remain available at clinics until the end of March.

The flu vaccine, as well as first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, will also be available at the clinics.

Sally Roberts, Chief Nursing Officer for the NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board, said: "It’s important to remember that winter isn’t over yet and with winter illnesses such as COVID-19 and flu still circulating, getting vaccinated remains the best protection against these viruses, especially for those living with a long-term health condition.

“If you are eligible for a booster, whether that’s an initial booster dose or an autumn booster, please come forward and visit our pop-up clinics while you still can. Flu vaccines, as well as first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, are also available and it’s not too late to come forward if you haven’t already done so.

“If anyone is hesitant about having a vaccine or has any questions, the pop-up clinics are an opportunity to speak to experts from the NHS in a private and confidential environment, so please do pop along even if it’s just to have a conversation.”
