We do not know exactly which covid vaccine it will be yet but it will be Pfizer for under 18 and Pfizer or Moderna for over 18

If you have a minor illness such as a cold you can receive the vaccine, but if you are very unwell or have a fever, or have just started a course of antibiotics, the doctor or nurse may advise you to wait until you are better.

Invitations will be sent out by text, NHS App message and post to those who are eligible.

Flu and COVID Clinics will be at the Kingfisher Branch, 19-21 Culver Road, BN11 9AX

You may also be eligible for a Flu Vaccination and this will be offered at the same time as your COVID Vaccination.  This is safe and recommended.
