UKHSA urges eligible East Midlands people celebrating Diwali to prioritise flu and COVID-19 vaccination
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is urging all eligible people in the East Midlands preparing for Diwali to get their flu and COVID-19 vaccination, to ensure a safe and healthy celebration. The vaccines take up to two weeks to build immunity for maximum protection, so getting vaccinated early will help lower the risk of severe illness in time for Diwali on 20th October.
