Warwickshire sites offering walk-in Covid jabs this weekend
Walk-in clinics are opening across Warwickshire this weekend in a big push to get as many people as possible vaccinated against Covid-19.
The bumper weekend of walk-ins, which runs from today (25th June) until Monday, 28th June, aims to make it easier and more convenient for all adults who have not had either dose of their vaccine yet to come forward.
People will be able to choose from mobile, pop-up and pharmacy-led vaccine sites across the county, offering the jab with no appointment needed. This is in addition to the bookable appointments which are still available via the NHS website.
The NHS has launched a new online service at www.nhs.uk/grab-a-jab enabling people to simply enter their postcode and find their nearest walk-in site. Text messages will also be sent to people living nearby who haven’t had their first dose yet.
Alison Tonge, the NHS England and NHS improvement director responsible for overseeing the vaccination programme across the Midlands, said: “I would urge everyone who has yet to have a first dose or second dose of the life-saving Covid-19 vaccine to pop along to one of the many participating walk-in clinics taking place across the West Midlands this weekend.
“We are confident that people can find a date and location to suit everyone and many clinics are open this weekend from 8am-9pm. You can also book a jab at www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination.
“As the largest-ever NHS vaccination programme continues, these walk-in sites are key to ensuring that no-one is left behind for any reason.
“We know that getting both doses is vital to maximising the protection that the vaccine offers, so please come forward for both jabs, and follow the tens of millions who have already got themselves this essential protection from COVID-19.”
