Eligible people will be able to walk-in and be vaccinated at one of the many pop-up clinics in Wolverhampton and the Black Country this spring.
The groups that are eligible to get the vaccination include adults aged 75 years and over by 30 June, residents in care homes, those aged six months and over who have a weakened immune system.
No appointment is needed, and anyone aged 18 and over who is eligible for a spring vaccine is encouraged to come forward.
Sally Roberts, chief nursing officer for the NHS Black Country ICB, said: "Our pop-up clinics are a great way for those eligible for a spring COVID-19 vaccine to get vaccinated at a time and location that suits them, with no appointment necessary. Having the spring COVID-19 vaccine helps vulnerable people, including the elderly and those with weakened immune systems, to maintain a high level of protection and helps prevent them from becoming seriously ill or needing treatment in hospital.
"You don’t need to wait to be invited if you’re eligible, just come forward as soon as you can."
In addition to the pop-up clinics, spring COVID-19 vaccinations are available at a number of community pharmacies and other vaccine sites across the Black Country – these can be found online via the National Booking System, or by calling 119.
