This weekend, hundreds of walk-in NHS Covid-19 vaccination sites will be operating with any adult able to turn up and ‘grab a jab’, as we urge everyone aged 18 and over to get their vaccine as soon as possible to protect themselves and their loved ones.
Vaccines are our route out of the pandemic – vaccinated people are less likely to get Covid-19 symptoms, be admitted to hospital or die from the disease, and there is growing evidence that vaccinated people are less likely to pass the virus on to others.
This weekend, anyone aged over 18 can turn up at the sites which include football stadiums such as Arsenal’s Emirates stadium, theatres, supermarket car parks and shopping centres, and get vaccinated without needing to book in advance, and the NHS will publicise the sites locally.
We are continuing to take great strides in our journey back to normality, and we urge everyone eligible to visit their nearest walk in centre this weekend and ‘grab a jab’ and protect yourself and your loved ones.
