Please wear short sleeves, so we can vaccinate you easily.

You are welcome to bring a carer if you need assistance. The vaccination centre is fully accessible and wheelchairs are available on site but are limited so please speak to staff when you arrive.

In line with Government guidance, social distancing measures are in place at the vaccination centre. You must wear a mask, stay one metre away from other people, and clean your hands when you enter the building.

Our friendly staff will help you when you arrive and show you the way.
