An update on the Covid booster jab rollout across Nottingham and Notts.
Advice is to keep checking the booking systems as more places come online very quickly.
A new venue could be available to you if you keep checking.
Amanda Sullivan, Accountable Officer at NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire CCG, said:
‘The NHS is working exceptionally hard to accelerate the booster programme to offer protection to as many people as quickly as possible.
‘Locally, we are establishing a number of ways we can quickly step up the volumes of jabs given to the public.
‘These will include increasing capacity at our sites, offering extended opening hours, standing up more vaccination sites, working to increase our vaccinator workforce, accepting the national support on offer which includes the military and supporting our GPs and community pharmacies to be able to offer the lifesaving jabs to as many people as possible.
‘I want to be clear that our NHS workforce will be working very hard to vaccinate as many people as possible and I am grateful for the support across the local system in helping us to achieve this.’
• 50 sites in Nottinghamshire delivering Covid booster vaccines – how to book
‘The local NHS is prioritising bookings for boosters and I would urge eligible people to book a slot to guarantee their jab.
‘If you are over 30 you can book on the NHS website or by calling 119. We appreciate the booking systems are very busy at the moment, but we would ask that you keep checking for more availability as it comes online. If people are willing to travel there are plenty of appointments available at the Mansfield Vaccination Centre and King’s Mill Hospital.
