Millions of people across the UK are now eligible for their Covid-19 autumn booster. Those aged 75 and over, people who are immunosuppressed, and health and care workers are among the first to be able to book and should now be getting their invitation letters. However, just where in Nottingham and around the county can you get a booster once invited?
One of the city's largest sites, the Forest Recreation Ground Vaccination Centre, closed on Sunday, June 12, after some 238,568 people passed through its doors to get one or more of the jabs. That facility has now opened in the Courtaulds Building on Haydn Road, Nottingham.
Stephen Upton, deputy director of operations for the Nottingham Vaccination Programme, said at the time of the relocation of the service: “The Forest site has played an important part in vaccinating residents across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire and it will be the end of an era seeing it close its doors for the final time. However, this change allows us to move towards a more sustainable model of working which will help us to continue delivering an outstanding service to our local population as we continue to administer jabs to the public.

“Although the site will be moving, we are still providing a fixed location in the city for people to have a vaccination and we will continue to offer the same range of vaccines at the new sites". Adding: "Our fantastic team of staff, including Ruby the therapy dog, will continue to work at the new site and we welcome anyone who is eligible for a vaccine, or those who have not yet taken up the offer, to come forward for a life-saving jab.”
Once you've received your invitation you'll be able to call 119 or go online to book your appointment. The list below shows all the locations available but, depending upon when you book, your location, and the appointment slots available at that time, not all sites may show.
Roz Lindridge, director of commissioning at NHS England and NHS Improvement in the Midlands, said: “Ahead of winter, autumn boosters are vital in helping to top up the immunity of the elderly and the most vulnerable across the Midlands to ensure they are protected from the dangers of COVID-19." The lists below show where you can visit now. Don't forget to wait for your invitation and then book online or by calling 119.
