Women are encouraged to attend the vaccination clinics to protect themselves and their babies against illness this winter.
Midwife and Lead Nurse for the Vaccination Programme, Kate McGarrigle said: “It is important for pregnant women to have both COVID-19 and Flu vaccines as they are at higher risk of becoming seriously unwell.
