There’s plenty of ways to get your Covid vaccines.
First, second and booster doses are easily available every day in the city. You can choose the best time and place for you.
Councillor Sue Shanks, chair of the Health & Wellbeing Board said:
“Getting vaccinated is the best way of keeping ourselves and our family and friends safe from getting severely ill with Covid. However, finding the time to get vaccinated isn’t always as simple as it sounds.
“If you haven’t had a Covid vaccine yet, it’s not too late. And if you’re due your second or booster dose, please get it as soon as you are eligible so you have the highest level of protection.
“I know there’s many different reasons why people haven’t had the vaccine yet but we’re trying to make it as easy as possible for you to attend. There’s now more availability at more times and locations in the city. There’s also free parking in some locations and help for you to get there if you need it.
“If you were put off by hearing about queues and busy clinics before Christmas, please know that there’s now plenty of walks-ins or slots to book, so you shouldn’t have to wait very long.
“If you’re not sure about the vaccine, you call the vaccine enquiry line on 0800 433 4545 and the team can answer any questions you might have.”
If you know what time you’re free, and you want to plan in advance, you can book online or by calling 119 for an appointment at Churchill Square, Brighton Racecourse or some of the pharmacies in the city.
There are walk-in sessions available every day across the city. There’s no need to book, just turn up and get your jab. In most cases there shouldn’t be much of a wait.

When to get your follow up vaccines:
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.
Young people aged 12 to 15 attending with their parent or carer can get their first and second vaccinations at Churchill Square vaccination centre, as well as through their school.
Parents and carers can come along with 12-15 year olds to Churchill square to support the young person and give consent at the appointment.
Appointments can be booked online or by calling 119. Dedicated times are available daily after school and 8am-4pm on weekends.
Walk-ins are also available at any time if the 12-15 year old is accompanied by a parent or carer to give their consent.
There's plenty of slots available this week.
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. You will need to take a ticket and then provide proof of your vaccination appointment to the security officer, who will validate your ticket.
There is also free parking at the Racecourse.
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.
