North Essex large vaccination centres remain closed
Heavy snowfall this week has resulted in the closures of the area's large Covid-19 vaccination centres
Last updated 10th Feb 2021
The large coronavirus vaccination centres at Colchester's Community Stadium and Clacton Hospital remain closed due to the snow.
Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT), which runs both sites, announced yesterday that Clacton Hospital will open tomorrow but Colchester's Community Stadium won't reopen until Friday (12th February).
They have been closed since the start of the week due to the weather conditions brought by Storm Darcy.
Priority groups who have missed out on appointments are being asked not worry, as more slots will be made available to accommodate bookings "as soon as possible".
Once they do reopen, EPUT is urging people to plan their journeys carefully and wrap up warmly, or cancel their appointment the day before if they would prefer not to travel.
People can cancel or re-book their appointments by visiting the NHS national booking website or by calling 119.
Some sites are open
There are a number of hubs still open though, including at the Fryatt Hospital in Harwich and the Colchester Primary Care Centre:
Yellow weather warning
