Geneva is widening the scope of people who can now apply to be vaccinated.

Thanks to a fresh delivery of vaccine, those who are particularly vulnerable and health workers will now start getting the jab. 

The canton has now vaccinated all the over 75s. 

Those who believe they are at risk are being invited to sign up for an appointment. If you’ve already registered you should be contacted soon. 
The canton is reminding people the vaccine is free and is asking if you’re not at risk, do not apply just yet.
