Getting the Covid vaccine is the best way of protecting you and your family and friends from illness.
If you haven’t had any of your Covid vaccines yet, it’s not too late. If you’ve had your first and second dose it’s really important to get your booster as soon as you’re eligible, so you’ve got the best possible protection against Covid-19.

Who can attend and what you need to bring
All sessions are offering first, second and booster doses and are open to everyone aged 16 or over who is eligible for a vaccine.
When to get your follow up vaccines:
- 2nd dose: 12-17 years at 12 weeks from 1st vaccine, 18 years and over at 8 weeks from 1st vaccine
- Booster vaccine: everyone aged 16 and above is eligible 3 months (91 days) from your 2nd vaccine and can pre-book an appointment from 2 months (61 days)
No NHS number or ID is required but it does speed things up if you do have your NHS number with you.
Overseas visitors to England, including anyone living in the UK without permission, can also get the COVID-19 vaccine for free.
Vaccinations for 12 to 15-year-olds at Churchill Square
Young people aged 12 to 15 attending with their parent or carer can get their first and second vaccinations at Churchill Square vaccination centre, or through their school.
Appointments can be booked online or by calling 119. Parents and carers must come along with 12 to15-year-olds to Churchill square to give consent at the appointment.
If you’re under 18 years old and at high risk from COVID-19, you’re eligible for a second dose from 8 weeks after your first dose. The National Booking Service will only offer appointments from 12 weeks after your first dose. To get your second dose from 8 weeks, please take a letter from a GP that says you’re eligible for a second dose from 8 weeks.

One-hour free parking is available for anyone getting a vaccine at Churchill Square. To claim your free hour please use the orange car park on Regency Road East.

A free transport service is available to help people who do not have the means to travel to their vaccination appointment and need help to get there and back. To book, phone 01444 275 008 from 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
