As part of the continuing drive to get more people vaccinated a new pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic is opening this weekend at Willow Place Shopping Centre in Corby. The clinic, one of many drop-in sites available, gives people the opportunity to ‘grab a jab’ while they are out and about.
The Willow Place clinic is open on Saturday 24 July 2021 from 9am to 6pm and Sunday 25 July 2021 from 10am to 5pm. Anyone aged 18 or over is welcome to attend for their first vaccination, while second doses are also available for anyone who had their first Pfizer dose at least eight weeks ago. This is one of several drop-in sites open in the county this week offering people the chance to get their first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine without making an appointment.
Chris Pallot, Director of Northamptonshire COVID-19 Vaccination Programme, said: “Getting vaccinated is the best and safest way we can protect ourselves, the people we love and those around us. This is even more important as we return to our normal everyday lives and enjoy more freedoms.
“Vaccine take up has been really good in Northamptonshire, particularly in the over 40 age group. We are now encouraging those aged between 18 and 39 to drop in for their jabs – as we don’t want pockets of people left vulnerable to COVID-19.
“We’re making it as easy and convenient as possible to get jabbed. We want to ensure people are able get on and enjoy the summer months knowing they and their family and friends are safely protected. We have several drop-in clinics available this week where you can simply pop in and get your vaccine, appointment free.”
The Northamptonshire COVID-19 Vaccination Centre in Moulton Park offers drop-ins every day from 8am to 6.30pm. Drop-in times at other sites vary and people should check availability, opening hours and eligibility before visiting. Please bring along your NHS number if you have one, which you can easily find online at nhs.uk/nhs-services/online-services/find-nhs-number/
Anyone unable to attend a drop-in clinic can still book an appointment at existing local vaccination sites, either online at nhs.uk/coronavirus-vaccine, by calling 119 or by contacting their GP practice.
