Vaccination centres across Norfolk and Waveney extend opening hours
It's to allow more people to get a jab
Last updated 6th Sep 2021
From today (6 September), all five of the large scale vaccination centres in Norfolk and Waveney will be open from 8.30 am to 4.00 pm, with the majority open seven days a week, to ensure as many people as possible can grab a jab.
Mike Passfield, Clinical Operations Director for the Large Scale Vaccination Centres run by Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust said: “We’re delighted to be opening the doors of our large scale vaccination centres from 8.30 am to 4.00 pm, with the majority open seven days a week, and some sites also open one day a week through to 7.30 pm, so there are even more opportunities for people who have not had their jab yet to do so.
“Everyone aged 16 and over is eligible to be vaccinated. Getting your vaccine is the best way to protect yourself, your friends and your family while enabling you to get back to doing the things you love. So please don’t wait – come along to any of our daily walk-in clinics to get your jab.”
Cath Byford, Chief Nurse at NHS Norfolk and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group, added: “The vast majority of people in Norfolk and Waveney have taken up the offer of vaccination, with more than 93% of people aged 18 and above having had one vaccine, and 84% having had both doses. This is fantastic progress but we still want those who have not yet had a vaccine to come forward.”
“We’re making it as easy as possible for people to get their jab - no appointment is needed - and our friendly vaccination teams will be happy to answer any questions you have. They can also provide extra support if you are nervous or anxious, just speak to a member of the team at any of our vaccination sites and let them know what you need to feel relaxed and comfortable.”

If you have it, please take with you your NHS number to help the vaccination team book you in quickly (please see here). But don’t worry if you don’t have an NHS number or are not registered with a GP / local doctor, you can still get vaccinated.
You do NOT need to show identification (ID) to receive a COVID-19 vaccination and you do not need to give your full name or address. It does not matter whether you are a UK citizen or what your immigration status is, how long you have been here or how long you expect to stay.
They say before your vaccination, don't forget to keep hydrated (bring some bottled water with you) and have something to eat before you go!
