The clinics, which have been running throughout the Autumn and Winter, offer free adult flu vaccinations to all eligible groups, including pregnant women, those aged 65 years and over, those aged 18 years to under 65 years in clinical risk groups, carers, frontline health and social care workers, and close contacts of immunocompromised individuals.

In addition, the clinics will also be offering the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine for anyone who has missed a dose, the RSV vaccine for older adults and pregnant women, and the pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine for pregnant women.

Councillor Obaida Ahmed, the City of Wolverhampton Council’s Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Community, said: “By getting vaccinated, you’ll be helping protect yourself and those around you this winter.”
As well as the walk in clinics, pre-booked appointments are also available through GPs and some local pharmacies.
