Get your Vitamin D supplements
Many of us have been indoors more than usual this year, particularly people who have been shielding or live in care homes. Your body needs sunlight to make Vitamin D which is then used to support your general health especially your bones and muscles.
That's why the Government has announced it will offer a free four month supply of Vitamin D supplements for all adults who are in the clinically extremely vulnerable category.
They will start distributing supplements from January. To register for your supply, visit www.nhs.uk/get-vitamin-d
You don't need to register to receive the Vitamin D supplements if:
- you are already taking, or are prescribed, Vitamin D
- you currently live in a nursing or residential home. This is because a supply will be sent directly to the home where you live so you don't need to worry
