Covid booster jab drop in centres Glasgow: where to get third vaccine near me - without booking an appointment
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
What’s happening? As the spread of Omicron continues, the advice is to get a Covid-19 vaccine booster. While Omicron reportedly causes less severe illness than other Covid-19 variants, doctors and nurses have warned that hospitals in the area are nearing capacity, and told people not to get complacent.

Hide AdDr Umberto Fazzi, consultant surgeon at QEUH, said: “You may be hearing in the press that Omicron might result in less severe illness.
“However, this doesn’t mean you won’t need hospital treatment and so please make sure you’ve had your vaccines and been boosted.”
According to the latest data from Public Health Scotland, every district in Glasgow is in the highest Covid-19 case rate bracket.
