As winter approaches, it is really important that we share up to date Covid-19 information and guidance, including national toolkits and communications assets, which can be shared with different language and cultural communities, through networks and intermediaries, on social media and within community settings.
Key messages this week are:
- If you are eligible, get your booster jab as soon as you can
- Parents can book vaccinations online for their children aged 12 to 15
- Follow safer behaviours to keep COVID-19 in check
Click on the link below for the latest toolkit and please share with your communities and organisations who can get the messages out. The links to previous toolkits and Newcastle specific advice and support are at the end of this article.
