Drop-in COVID-19 vaccination sessions
Date Added: 13/05/2021
Walk-in vaccination clinic in Flitwick
If you're over 40 or are waiting for your second dose of Astra-Zeneca you can get vaccinated this Sunday in Flitwick.
Anyone over 40 can also get vaccinated this week and next at walk-in clinics in Bedford, Milton Keynes and Luton, making it even easier to get protected against COVID-19.
For the first time locally, drop-in sessions are being offered at the large vaccination centres to make the most of available vaccine supplies. That’s why, for a limited period, people who have yet to book their vaccine can turn up at a number of local sites during opening hours to receive their first dose.
CORRECTION: Please note in our Bulletin earlier today we incorrectly said people aged 38 and 39 could attend. This clinic is not available to people aged 38 or 39 who should book their vaccine appointment here or call 119. We apologise for any confusion caused.
