Unpaid adult carers are currently being vaccinated as part of the JCVI priority list.

If you are an adult carer, you can either:

• Wait to be contacted by your GP or local vaccination service to invite you to attend an appointment at your local vaccination centre.
• Make an appointment at either of our large vaccination sites (at Boston’s PRSA, or Lincolnshire Showground), by visiting www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination , or calling 119 free of charge, anytime between 7am and 11pm seven days a week. 

To ensure you are eligible to attend as part of this group, you must also be eligible for carers allowance, or registered as a carer with your GP, the County Council or the Lincolnshire Carers’ Service.

If you are not yet, it is simple to register using our dedicated service. Please complete this form at the Lincolnshire Carers’ Service or call 01522 782031.

The Disability Unit at the Cabinet Office is developing a National Strategy for Disabled People. Publication is planned for Spring 2021.

To help the government with understanding the barriers that disabled people face and what it may need to focus upon to improve the lives of disabled people, we need to hear about your views and know more about your experiences.

The survey will be open until 23 April 2021. Responses received before 13 February 2021 will inform the development of the National Strategy, while those received after this date used to inform its delivery.
