Other ways to book your jab
If you are aged 75 and over or have a weakened immune system, there are lots of convenient ways to book your COVID-19 vaccine this spring.
You can book your COVID-19 vaccine through the NHS App or on the NHS website, which also lists walk-in sites across the country that you can visit without an appointment.
Alternatively, if you aren’t able to book online, you can call 119 where translators will also be available to support you if you need. Get the extra protection you need this spring, search ‘NHS COVID-19 vaccine’.
