Labour’s Andy Abrahams is today calling on the people of Mansfield to book their booster jabs as part of a major national effort to protect the country from the Omicron variant.

Andy said,

“None of us wanted to be here again this Christmas – but we can’t just wish the Coronavirus away. We have to work together to beat it.

“The best thing you can possibly do for your health, your family and your community is to make sure you are up to date with your jabs. So if you are due for your booster – please book it now – and if you are still to have your jab, please, please don’t delay. The vaccine isn’t just safe, it has already saved tens of thousands of lives in this country and millions around the world. Whatever your reasons for delay, please look at this again – not just for your own safety, but because more vaccinations today mean fewer restrictions more quickly in the future.

“Here in Mansfield we have always worked together as a community – now is the challenge of our lives. Please follow the guidance, please get jabbed, and please stay safe.”
