A free walk in conversation and vaccination clinic offering a range of catch-up vaccinations, including MMR, MMRV and flu for children and young people, will be available during February half term at Dudley Market Place on Friday 20 February 10am-3pm.

Parents / carers will have the opportunity to come and discuss vaccinations, have any queries answered and if eligible the children can receive their missed vaccination at the time, no appointment required.

The clinic is also offering pertussis and RSV vaccinations for pregnant women, and RSV for eligible older adults along with flu and Covid-19 boosters.

This is an ideal opportunity for families to catch-up on any missed vaccinations and get protected ahead of Easter and summer.
