16 and 17 year olds offered walk-in Covid-19 jabs in Sheffield
16 and 17 year olds in Sheffield are now being offered walk in appointments for Covid-19 vaccines at one of the city's main vaccination centres.
The walk in centre on Longley Lane is now offering the vaccine without the need for appointments. No ID will required to receive the vaccine.
The first 16 and 17 year olds started getting their jabs in the city earlier this week after the rollout was extended to the age group.
The Sheffield NHS Vaccination Centre, near the Northern General Hospital, is currently open seven days a week 8am - 5:30pm.
Dr Jennifer Hill, Medical Director (Operations) at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said:
“We’re delighted to be opening our doors at Longley Lane for young people aged 16 and 17 to receive their COVID-19 vaccine.
"Our route out of this pandemic is by getting as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible and so our Longley Lane walk-in vaccination centre will make it as easy as possible for young people to fit getting vaccinated into their busy lives.”
If you want an appointment for a vaccine you can book one here, or by calling 119.
