With all adults with diabetes now being offered the vaccine, it’s incredibly important to take up your invitation – to help keep yourself, your family, and your community safe.

The vaccines being offered are safe and will save lives, but if you have any concerns, please call Diabetes UK’s Helpline on 0345 123 2399 or visit diabetes.org.uk.
