“If you are able to then we would urge you to book an appointment before you come and remember that your booster must be at least three months after your second dose.
“Christmas is coming so getting ‘boosted’ is your best way to protect yourselves and your loved ones. If you get covid you could end up self-isolating over the festive period.”
The free shuttle service will leave Boston bus station on the hour, every hour, from 9.30am, on the dates mentioned - with pick up points at Skirbeck Road and Fenside along the way and returning people from the Princess Royal Sports Arena (last departure at 5pm). People will be asked to wear face masks on the shuttle bus.
The vaccination centre at PRSA, Boston, will close at 7.30pm on New Year’s Eve.
