The NHS is now inviting pregnant women in Milton Keynes to have their COVID-19 vaccine.
So far, the NHS in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes has dispensed over 680,000 vaccinations and appointments are still available for those in the initial cohorts who have not yet been protected.
Invitations to people aged 38 - 39 have begun this week, and from today (14/5) pregnant women will also be able to book through the national booking service.
Pregnant women will be directed to vaccination centres offering Pfizer and Moderna in their local area in line with JCVI guidance.
They can also speak to their GP practice or maternity service if they have any questions about the coronavirus vaccine or can talk to a healthcare professional at their appointment.
The NHS currently vaccinates using three vaccines, Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca, all of which have been approved as safe and effective by world-leading medical regulator, the MHRA.
People 39 and under without an underlying health condition will be offered the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine in line with updated JCVI guidance last week, which will be available at a large vaccination centre in the area.
Appointments at large vaccination centres must be booked through the online National Booking Service or by calling 119.
