Six COVID-19 vaccination clinics are open this week across Northamptonshire for ages 16 and over

Drop-in vaccine sessions are available across Northampton, Corby & Wellingborough at six sites this week in a bid to get as many people jabbed against the virus as possible.

These drop-in sessions provide opportunities for 16- to 17-year-olds to walk in and get their first COVID-19 vaccination, as well as those aged 18 and over who haven’t yet come forward for their first dose and second doses for anyone who had their first dose at least eight weeks ago.

Walk-in clinics in Northampton include the Vaccination Centre in Moulton Park, which is also offering 16- and 17-year-old only sessions this week. Ages 16 and over can also visit Regent Pharmacy on Regent Street and Whitefields Surgery. In Corby, Oakley Pharmacy is offering sessions every day this week and Mr Pickford’s is also offering sessions. In Wellingborough, individuals can walk straight in for their jab at the Pravasi Mandal Centre.

Chris Pallot, Director of Northamptonshire’s COVID-19 Vaccination Programme, said:

“Everyone deserves the protection of the vaccine. The more people we vaccinate across the county, the better chance you have of protecting yourself and your loved ones and walk in vaccine clinics play a huge part in that. These clinics provide a really handy option for those who can get vaccinated on the go – with no need to book.

“I urge everyone over the age of 16 to visit your local clinic and accept the offer of this life-saving jab. Vaccinated people are far less likely to get serious COVID-19, be admitted to hospital, or die from it.

“Please do check our local vaccine web page before you plan your visit at www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/covidvaccine where drop in availability is being updated regularly.”

All drop-in clinics around the county are open to everyone aged 16 and over. Second doses for over 18-year-olds must be of the same vaccine type as the first, and people should check availability, opening hours and eligibility before visiting a drop-in clinic.

Full details of upcoming clinics are provided in the table below and are published online at www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/covidvaccine. Alternatively, people aged 18+ (and those within three months of their eighteenth birthday) can book appointments at a local vaccine site online at nhs.uk/covidvaccine or by calling 119.
