COVID-19 vaccinations

The COVID-19 vaccination programme has been running since December 2020.

To date more than 2.6 million vaccines have been given across our services, with 1.3 million people vaccinated.

Who can get a COVID-19 vaccine?

• 1st doses – everyone aged 12 and above.
• 2nd doses – everyone aged 16 and above.
• Booster vaccines – people in eligible groups at six months from their second dose.

It is important that everyone comes forward when they are eligible.

How to get your COVID-19 vaccine

In the main there are three key ways to get your vaccine:

• book your COVID-19 vaccination appointments online or by calling 119 free of charge
• find a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination session where you can get vaccinated without needing an appointment
• book your appointment directly with your GP led local vaccination service when they contact you

If you call 119, you can speak to a translator if you need to.

If you have difficulties communicating or hearing, or are a British Sign Language (BSL) user, you can use textphone 18001 119 or the NHS 119 BSL interpreter service.
