Vaccinations

COVID-19 vaccine programme

The Council is working with our NHS partners in the roll out of the COVID-19 vaccination programme.

It is never too late to have your first or second vaccination - you can either book an appointment or visit a walk-in clinic with no appointment necessary.

Find out about the vaccine, how well it works, how safe it is and how to get one on the NHS website:

If you have been invited for a COVID-19 vaccination appointment in the borough and need to use public transport to get to your vaccination site, please view the latest timetable information.

Vaccine fraud alert

We are aware that some people are receiving suspicious calls and text messages offering the COVID-19 vaccination.

To protect yourself and your family members from fraud and criminals, remember the following points:

• The vaccine is available for free on the NHS. Anyone offering a paid-for vaccine is committing a crime.
• The NHS will never ask you to press a button on your keypad or send a text to confirm you want the vaccine, and never ask for payment or for your bank details.
• At the moment we are also not making house calls to deliver or discuss the vaccine. Anyone offering this now is committing a crime.

If you receive a call you believe to be fraudulent, hang up. Report any scams to Citizens Advice Consumer Service:

• Online: Reporting a scam
• Telephone: 0800 144 8848

Where the victim is vulnerable, and particularly if you are worried that someone has or might come to your house, report it to the Police online or by calling 101.
