Extra walk-in Covid-19 vaccination clinics are being stood up across Swindon and Wiltshire to help more adults receive the lifesaving vaccine.
Over the coming weeks, mobile vaccination teams will be on hand at a range of
community venues to welcome any person in need of a first or second dose, as well
as the all-important booster vaccine.
Having all three required doses of the Covid-19 vaccine greatly reduces a person’s
chances of becoming seriously ill from coronavirus, while also helping them become
less infectious to others.
Next week will see teams set up shop at the Eastcott Community Centre in
Swindon and Wiltshire College’s campuses at Lackham, Trowbridge, Chippenham and Salisbury.
Gill May, Director of Nursing and Quality, said: “More than 85 per cent of all adults in
our area have been triple vaccinated, which is absolutely fantastic and exceeds the
target given to us by the government before Christmas.
“Our focus now is to do all we can to help those yet to come forward to access the
lifesaving Covid-19 vaccine in as easy a way as possible, and these pop-up clinics
allow us to do exactly that.
“In recent weeks, we’ve vaccinated people in sports clubs, housing estates and even
pubs, and we’ll continue visiting similar community venues for as long as it is
necessary, as every vaccine given makes a difference.”
