The COVID-19 vaccines currently available are given in 2 doses. You usually have the 2nd dose 8 to 12 weeks after the 1st dose. A booster is usually administered 3 months after the 2nd dose.

If you're aged 18 or over (or will turn 18 within 3 months) you can:

• book your COVID-19 vaccination appointments online for an appointment at a vaccination centre or pharmacy
• find a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination site to get vaccinated without needing an appointment
• wait to be contacted by your GP surgery and book your appointments with them

If you cannot book appointments online, you can call 119 free of charge. 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.

If you – or someone you know – is expecting vaccination and does not appear to have been contacted or does not yet have an appointment booked for a Covid-19 vaccination, then please get in touch now by calling the dedicated Covid-19 vaccination telephone number: 01869 943108
