More than a million people have now been vaccinated against COVID-19 in the Thames Valley.
In Bucks, more than 270,000 people have received their first dose while 70,000 have received their second dose
Anyone aged 42 and over, or who turns 42 before 1 July can now book a vaccine appointment online or by calling 119. If you’re in an older or more vulnerable group and haven’t had your first dose yet, please do come forward to book your appointment. The vaccines approved for use in the UK are safe and effective; if you want to read more about the COVID-19 vaccine go to the NHS website.
Vaccines are being offered at sites across Buckinghamshire, including via GPs, mass vaccination sites and local pharmacies, meaning there is somewhere locally where residents will be able to get an appointment.
Wherever you choose to have your vaccine, if you decide to change the date or location for any reason, you must cancel your original appointment. This helps all the providers and sites manage vaccine supply efficiently, ultimately allowing more people to get vaccinated sooner.
The Mass Vaccination Site in Buckinghamshire has moved from Buckinghamshire New University (BNU) to a new home at the indoor bowls centre at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium, Guttmann Road, HP21 9PP. Anyone due their second dose and who may be affected by the move is being contacted by phone or text so they know their appointment will be at the stadium site now.
There is also a dedicated COVID-19 area on the council website which includes a vaccine FAQ page and local testing info which is updated regularly. There is also news on local vaccine sites, weekly figures and other updates.
