Waste service strike

A number of Tower Hamlets Council frontline waste service workers and street cleansers will be going on strike from 18 September to 1 October due to a national pay dispute.  

Despite the council working to maintain services for residents, the strike will impact collections and cleansing across the borough. We apologise in advance for the disruption this will cause.

Covid-19 vaccines

Covid-19 vaccination

COVID-19 vaccination is now only available if you’re at increased risk from severe COVID-19.

Children aged 6 months to 4 years old who are at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19 can get a first and second COVID-19 vaccine.

If you develop a new health condition or start treatment that severely weakens your immune system, you may need additional protection before autumn 2023. A healthcare specialist will assess whether you need an additional vaccine and make a referral and advise on the best timing for vaccination around your planned treatment. Speak to your specialist for more information.

You may be able to get a seasonal COVID-19 vaccine in autumn 2023 if you’re at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19. For example, this may be due to a health condition or your age. The NHS will contact you if you are eligible.
