You may well have received information on COVID-19 vaccinations and testing for PAs; we have tried to send this to all relevant service users as it comes in but this update summarises all relevant information for the four local authority areas in which LCiL supports people.
Please note that in all cases, LCiL is assisting local authorities with the distribution of this information only, and is in no way involved in the process of implementing vaccinations or testing. All enquiries should go to your local authority.
