Young People Told to “Grab a Jab” Without Needing to Make an Appointment This Weekend

Young People Told to “Grab a Jab” Without Needing to Make an Appointment This Weekend

The drive to get all British adults vaccinated against Covid is being boosted this weekend with young people being told to “grab a jab” at one of the hundreds of walk-in vaccination clinics across the country without having to make appointments. Some sites, such as football stadiums, are even offering free tours to those who get vaccinated in an effort to increase turnout. BBC News has the story.

Sites will be publicised locally so people can choose the location best for them, or they can type in their postcode to the NHS website to find their nearest site.

Sporting grounds involved in the vaccination drive include the Newcastle Eagles basketball arena, Watford’s Vicarage Road, Birmingham’s Edgbaston cricket ground and Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium.

People who get a vaccine at the Emirates Stadium between now and Monday are being offered a free tour of the stadium as part of their visit.

In addition to mass vaccination centres, there will be buses offering jabs in Dudley, Colchester, Ipswich and several other towns.

Latest Government figures show 43.87 million – 83.3% of the adult population – have received a first dose of a coronavirus jab and 32 million – 60.9% – have had two doses.

The Prime Minister says he hopes two-thirds of the adult population will be fully vaccinated against Covid by July 19th, creating a “wall of immunity” against the virus. If this target is not met, it is possible that the easing of restrictions could be delayed again, as London Mayor Sadiq Khan warned:

Unless sufficient numbers of Londoners have the jab it makes it more likely that we won’t be able to fully reopen on July 19th. 

I’m determined to have not only as many Londoners [as possible] fully protected but for us to reopen on July 19th. 

The BBC News report is worth reading in full.
