Let’s keep up the vaccination momentum
14 December 2021
By now you will have heard that the new vehicle offered by Development West Coast and Grey Ford is still “Up for Jabs”! C’mon Coasters, we have until 24 December to get both doses to be in to win!
Being fully vaccinated reduces the severity of Covid-19 for anyone unfortunate enough to catch it, which reduces the pressure on health services and will help us move towards Green on the protection framework. Those that are unvaccinated are eight times more likely to be hospitalised than the vaccinated (according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
