Covid-19 vaccine

You can get the Covid-19 vaccine if you're aged 16 or over.

You can book your Covid-19 vaccination appointment, or alternatively you can visit a walk in centre.

Please note that vaccinations are free of charge and only available through the NHS. Anyone who claims to be able to provide you with a vaccine for a fee is likely to be committing a crime and should be reported to the Police online or by calling 112. The NHS will never ask you to press a button on your keypad or send a text asking you to confirm you want the vaccine.
