Health leaders are urging everyone who is eligible but has not yet had a COVID-19 vaccine to get the jab this bank holiday weekend to protect themselves and those around them.
Our vaccination sites will be open for walk-ins and booked appointments on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 June from 8.30am and 4.00 pm.
NHS services across Norfolk and Waveney are advising some simple ways people can get ready for the bumper Jubilee weekend, when it comes to their health.
This is ahead of the four-day bank holiday weekend (Thursday 2 June - Sunday 5 June) celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and 70 years of service.
Diabetes is a growing problem in Norfolk and Waveney with just under 68,000 people living with diabetes, over 65,000 of whom are living with the preventable Type 2 diabetes. A further 110,000 adults locally are also estimated to be living with prediabetes.
Prediabetes describes people whose blood sugars are higher than they should be which puts them at very high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
