Where can I get a booster vaccination at walk-in Coronavirus vaccination centres in and around Newcastle?

According to the most recent Government data, 46.5 million people in the UK have now had both of their Coronavirus vaccinations, with a further 20 million picking up their booster jab.

But if you haven’t had the chance to pick up any of your vaccinations so far, there are walk-in sites across the region which will allow you to get any vaccinations you can still recieve.

People aged 18 and over in the UK are able to pick up their booster jabs from walk-in sites across the UK while the NHS Covid Vaccination booking system also allows any adult to book an appointment for their booster vaccine. The first and second doses are also still available from walk-in sites and through the booking system if necessary.

Booster jabs are only available to people who received their second vaccination at least 91 days previously.

It is required that people getting their second jab are given the same type of vaccination as their first. Second vaccines are expected to be given between eight and 12 weeks after the initial dose.

Opening times for the sites are available on the NHS website.
