There are plenty of ways to get your COVID-19 vaccine or booster jab in Buckinghamshire over the coming days, as the vaccination programme ramps up to get everyone administered with a booster jab by the end of the month.
Boosters are now being offered to anyone aged 18 and above, those aged 16 and over who are at high risk or who live with someone at high risk, and health and social care staff – it just needs to have been three months since your second dose.
Eligible people are able to book an appointment at www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination or by calling 119.
If you work in Health and Social Care you can now access first, second and booster vaccinations via the Hospital Hub system – appointments for this are available until 23 December (some walk-ins are also available on 10 and 11 December).
You can find the booking link, along with the latest vaccination updates for Buckinghamshire, by going to: https://www.buckinghamshireccg.nhs.uk/public/your-services/feeling-unwell/covid-19-vaccination-programme/local-covid-19-vaccination-updates/
Among the options for getting your booster or your first and second vaccinations in Buckinghamshire over the coming week are:
The Guttmann Centre (Stoke Mandeville Stadium). Please note, from Friday, 10 December, this site will only be offering walk-in appointments to people who are immunosuppressed (and have a doctor's note). Everyone else should book their appointment via the National Booking Service - www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination

The Vaccine Van will also be in the following places:
Dr Raj Bajwa, Chair of NHS Buckinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "It really is vital that as many people as possible get their booster vaccination when they are eligible.
"So, when the NHS contacts you to tell you the time is right to get your booster, please make sure you take up the opportunity as soon as possible, to protect yourself and your loved ones.
"We are prioritising those at greatest risk and are now working steadily through our patient lists."
