Oldham West and Royton MP Jim McMahon has received his second dose of the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine and is encouraging all Oldhamers to grasp the opportunity to be jabbed when it's offered.
MP McMahon said: “With restrictions now relaxed the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from becoming seriously unwell with Covid is by getting both jabs when you’re offered them and talking to your friends and family to encourage them to do the same.
“There are some parts of Oldham where the vaccine take-up is lower than we’d like to see and over the next few weeks I’ll be working with the Council and local public health teams to try and boost that take-up.
“I feel relieved now that I’m double jabbed.
"And hope that everyone who’s eligible takes the vaccine and can share my relief.”
