Covid-19 update -Councillor Phil Bateman said ” I received this new update relating to the City Covid-19 infections on Friday evening 8th April. I thought Wednesfield North residents would like to see the information.”
There were 504.9 new cases of Covid-19 per 100,000 people in Wolverhampton over the last seven days. That means 1,328 people tested positive for the virus in that same period – though the true number of cases will likely be higher.
Following new guidance from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), five to 11-year-olds with no underlying health conditions are now eligible for two doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.
Each vaccine is a third of the dose given to older children and adults, and will be administered 12 weeks apart. Appointments can be booked online via the National Booking System.
Over 75s and clinically extremely vulnerable are eligible for a spring booster, and can book as above once they have been contacted about this.
