Dear All
Please find below an update from the Bury North Community Hub which contains a lot of information which I hope is useful to you.

Vaccination clinics
Please find attached details of next week’s vaccination clinics including Ramsbottom Civic Hall. The information on walk-ins has been updated, in summary, priority will be given to pre-booked booster vaccination appointments, however, the four vaccination sites can accommodate walk-ins without an appointment for booster vaccinations where capacity allows. To guarantee an appointment they are asking people to pre-book.

advice and signposting. Please share wide and far so that as many residents as possible are aware of the service offer at what can be a
very difficult time for some individuals. (please see the attachment entitled Christmas Card for Christmas opening hours)
