WITH Covid cases rising and significant numbers of people in Shropshire still unvaccinated health chiefs are urging people in Ludlow and the south of the county to make sure that they get a jab.

Most people over the age of 18 should by now have been offered at least one dose of a vaccination and many two.

But there remains a stubborn resistance amongst some to get the jab.

“There are also still lots of Shropshire residents eligible for the vaccine, whether it be a second dose or both doses,” said Rachel Robinson, the county’s director of public health.

“Book online, call 119 or visit a walk-in clinic to get yours as soon as possible.

“You are less likely to become seriously ill if you do contract Covid-19.”
