Why I got the COVID-19 vaccine Adetutu Emmanuel – Black community film

Adetutu Emmanuel who has systemic lupus, said: “I took the vaccine because someone close to me passed away after getting COVID-19, and this person had the same medical condition as I do.” She described the experience as “straightforward”.

Currently everyone aged 18 and over in England, those with underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk and carers can receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

People who have been invited by their GP or the NHS to get the COVID-19 vaccine – including those who have previously declined – can arrange their vaccination by logging on to the national booking service at www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination. Anyone unable to book online can call 119 free of charge, anytime between 7am and 11pm seven days a week.

COVID-19 vaccinations can be booked without an NHS number and regardless of an individual’s immigration status – this will not be checked.
