THE NHS coronavirus vaccine bus is to make regular visits to an East Lancashire borough's main town as the next door authority's health bosses urge residents to get their jabs.
The mobile Covid-19 inoculation clinic will be on Accrington Town Square three time later this month.
Meanwhile Blackburn with Darwen Council has given details of where to get coronavirus jabs in the borough.
It's public health director Abdul Razaq said: "Many of us are enjoying the freedoms we went without for such a long time, and we want to look forward to a winter free of restrictions.
"The latest surveillance data suggests that Covid hospital admissions have begun to see an increase in some regions across England, whilst flu levels currently remain low.
"The best thing we can do to protect ourselves is take up the offer of both the Covid and flu vaccines to stay well for the coming months and prevent passing on infections to others by observing good hand hygiene."
The Covid-19 vaccination bus will be on Accrington Town Square from 10am to 4pm on Thursday October 13, Thursday October 27 and Friday October 28.
No appointment is needed and people aged 12 plus are invited to come along for their first, second or booster jab.
Cllr Miles Parkinson, leader of Hyndburn Council, said: “It is fantastic news that the vaccination bus is coming back to Hyndburn. As we enter the colder months it is really important everyone who is eligible gets their next vaccination. This not only helps to protect family and friends, but helps protect the wider community and local economy.”
