This Saturday (17 July), there will be a walk-in clinic for anyone wishing to grab a jab in Cliftonville.
The clinic will be at Cliftonville Community Centre, St Paul’s Road, Margate, CT9 2DB, between 12noon and 8pm. No appointments are necessary and the clinic will be providing first doses of the Pfizer vaccine.
Paula Wilkins, Chief Nurse at NHS Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “Walk-in clinics continue to be an essential tool in making sure that as many people as possible receive the Covid-19 vaccine.
“Covid-19 restrictions may be due to be relaxed on 19 July, but it’s more important than ever that as many people as possible have both doses of the vaccine, to keep themselves, their family and their community safe.
Those who receive a vaccination at the walk-in clinic, run by the Margate and Mocketts Wood Primary Care Network, are advised to visit the online national booking service a few days after their first jab to book their second dose.
A vaccination information helpline, 0330 320 4444, has been set up provide more information on the vaccine and answer any questions people may have. This is provided by Involve Kent, with translation available if needed. You cannot book a vaccine using the helpline.
Anyone aged over 18 can now have their Covid-19 vaccination. You can book an appointment online at nhs.uk/covid-vaccination or by calling 119, or you can pop along to one of our walk-in clinics.
