A new vaccination centre has opened at Bexleyheath's Civic Offices to offer first and second Covid-19 jabs.

The vaccine centre will be open Monday-Saturday to anyone aged 18 or over.

Appointments must be pre-booked either via GPs (they will contact you) or the national booking system at www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination

Bexley Council leader, Cllr Teresa O'Neill, said: “We know how hard lockdown has been for everyone, but if we are to open safely on 19 July we need to increase the number of people who have been vaccinated.

“That’s why we’re increasing the number of clinics in Bexley and making it as easy as possible for our residents to receive their jab.

"If you haven’t had yours yet please come forward and book one now, for us all.”

Dr Anjan Ghosh, director of public health for Bexley, said: "I encourage all of our residents to take full advantage of the high levels of protection the vaccines bring and to get their jabs booked as soon as possible. If you're not registered with a GP, and want to receive a vaccination, temporary registration can be arranged."
