Thousands of high street pharmacies up and down the country are working to help the NHS deliver vital protection to eligible groups. Other eligible young people can contact a participating pharmacy to book an appointment. NHS Director of Vaccination Caroline Temmink said: “This first of its kind vaccination programme has made a great start, with tens of thousands of young people given the first step towards vital protection in just under a fortnight. “By receiving both doses of the vaccine, young people are protecting themselves from this awful disease. We’re pleased that pharmacies can now offer eligible young people this life-saving protection.”
