Halton public health recommends that those at higher risk of severe dis- ease from COVID-19 infec- tion and those who are al- ready eligible get their next dose as soon as possible. You are asked to bring your health card; if you do not have one, bring a piece of photo ID with your name and date of birth, and ar- rive no earlier than 10 min- utes before your appoint- ment.
