New walk-in clinic launches in Truro so people can grab their Covid booster jabs
Vaccination centres are running across Cornwall in a drive to deliver 9,000 jabs a day here
A new walk-in clinic has launched in Truro so people can grab their Covid booster jabs.
It is running at the Health Park on Infirmary Hill and you don't need an appointment,
From Wednesday to Friday (17th December) people aged 18 and older can get their booster jab, first or second dose.
There’s no need to book, just turn up at the surgery in Infirmary Hill from 2pm to 4pm – please use the entrance by Boots.
Cornwall’s NHS is aiming to deliver 172,000 booster vaccines by the end of December – around 9,000 a day – following the Prime Minister’s announcement on Sunday evening urging people to get protected from the latest strain, Omicron.
Dr Andy May, a partner at the Three Spires surgery and clinical lead for mid-Cornwall primary care network said: “Cases of COVID-19 are on the increase, and Cornwall’s GPs, practice nurses and pharmacists have once again stepped up to protect our community and NHS.
"The Lander and Three Spires surgeries have lots of vaccine available to protect 1, 200 people a day until the end of December.
“You can just turn up if you’re in town doing some Christmas shopping or passing by. We have plenty of availability and most people are in and out within 20 minutes (including the 10 minutes to wait after their vaccine).
"There is limited parking at the surgery, but we recommend walking from town or taking the bus, which stops opposite the surgery.”
