With coronavirus restrictions set to lift on Monday, young people in Buckinghamshire are being encouraged to 'grab a jab' as soon as possible.

There are drop-in sessions in High Wycombe and Aylesbury over the next few days, with health bosses saying it's as vital as ever to get protected.

Wycombe will be offering first and second doses of the Pfizer vaccine to anyone aged 18-39 who needs them - make sure you have left a gap of at least 8 weeks in between doses.

There is no need to book - simply turn up on the day to get your jab.

Sessions are running today (Fri) until 5pm and tomorrow 10am-4pm.

The clinics at Wycombe Library will be run by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, which also operates the Guttmann Vaccination Centre at Stoke Mandeville Stadium.

Tehmeena Ajmal, Oxford Health's Covid Operations Director, said:

"If you are aged 18 or over and still need a Covid jab, please come along to the drop-in clinic at Wycombe Library this week.

"By letting people simply walk into these clinics without needing to book first, we hope they will see how quick and easy it is to get their jab.

"And with restrictions easing next week, it is just as vital to get your jab now as it was on day one. It you are aged 18 and over, please make sure you get your vaccine at one of the available clinics as soon as possible."

If you are aged 18-39 and need a Pfizer vaccine dose, walk in clinics are also available at The Guttmann Centre at Stoke Mandeville Stadium every day this week until Sunday, 18 July, from 9.30am to 7.30pm. Again, there is no need to book - simply turn up and grab a jab.

You can book a vaccination this weekend at a number of other sites across Buckinghamshire via the National Booking Service online or by calling 119.
