Anyone over 70 who hasn't yet their first coronavirus jab is now being urged to make themselves known.
The NHS in North Yorkshire says local GP surgeries are actively contacting patients but that anyone over 70 who hasn't heard from them should call the new national helpline on 119.
Amanda Bloor from the NHS in North Yorkshire says the phone line and the website are the best ways to get in touch.
Amanda says anyone over 70 who initially declined the vaccine but has since changed their mind is also encouraged to get in touch using the new 119 helpline number.
Eligible people can book their appointment online through the national booking service at www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination.
Those who cannot book online can call a free 119 telephone number, anytime between 7am and 11pm seven days a week. The national system allows patients to pick a convenient location and time.
