Isolation rules

There is no longer a legal requirement for people with coronavirus (COVID-19) infection to self-isolate, however if you have any of the main symptoms of COVID-19 or a positive test result, the public health advice is to stay at home and avoid contact with other people. 

 

Covid-19 Vaccine

The NHS continues to offer the Covid-19 Vaccine. You can find out who is currently eligible for the vaccine and at which specific time of the year by visiting the NHS website.

 

Vaccination Transport

Before you make you vaccination appointment, there are a few things to consider, such as:

  • how you'll get there
  • what day and time is likely to be easiest for you
  • can someone in your household or a friend take you

  • if you need accessible transport, many taxi companies have suitable vehicles
