There are now even more walk-in COVID-19 vaccine appointments available across the Isle of Wight.
Islanders who haven't yet had their COVID-19 vaccines, but want their jabs are being invited to pop along to a walk-in clinic.
Anyone aged 18 and over can attend, without needing to book an appointment, and get their first dose.
This week and next, Islanders can go to:
- Thursday, June 24 and Friday, June 25, Riverside Centre, in Newport, from 12.30pm to 6.30pm
- Friday, June 25, Westridge Centre, in Ryde, from 7.30am to 11am
- Friday, June 25, Carisbrooke Health Centre, from 11am to midday
- Thursday, July 1, Carisbrooke Health Centre, from 5pm to 6pm
Michele Legg, Clinical Director for Hampshire, Southampton and Isle of Wight Clinical Commissioning Group, said:
“Having two doses of the vaccine helps protect you and those around you, so I urge you to get vaccinated.
“A recent study from PHE found that vaccine effectiveness against the Delta variant first identified in India, is similar after two doses when compared to the Alpha variant first identified in Kent.
“The vaccines offered have been tested and are safe for use and offer protection against different variants.”
When attending a walk-in clinic, there may be queues and face masks are required.
Islanders are being reminded to observe social distancing guidelines as outlined by each centre.
On the Isle of Wight, more than 67 per cent of eligible Islanders are now fully vaccinated against COVID-19, as Isle of Wight previously reported.
If you get an invitation letter or text from the National Booking Service or your GP practice, then you can still book a timeslot at one of our vaccination centres, if that is more convenient for you.
You can make an appointment by calling 119, visiting NHS.uk or responding to your GP practice invitation.
