Big weekend ahead for Covid jabs in Sussex

Sussex's coronavirus vaccination programme is preparing for a big weekend, as all adults have now been invited for life saving vaccinations.

Pop-up and mobile vaccination sessions are taking place in various locations across the county, including a COVID-19 Vaccination bus to be stationed at Hove Lawns on Saturday from 9:30am offering Pfizer vaccinations to passers-by and beachgoers.

As part of a regional push in the South East to get as many people vaccinated as possible, walk in sessions are also taking place in Bognor, Newhaven, Brighton, Crawley and Angering over the weekend.

Bringing vaccinations to the heart of the community helps to reach those who are less able or unlikely to attend the larger vaccination sites, or want their vaccination via drop-in rather than appointment.

The walk in sessions aim to make it as easy as possible for people to get the protection they need and to reach members of the community who are not yet vaccinated.

Any adult (over 18) can attend a vaccination session at any of the following sites in Sussex this weekend:

Whitehawk Football Club Community Day, Brighton - 10.30-14.30  Hove Lawns drop-in, Hove - 9.30-14.30, (Pfizer) 
