As we head towards Monday 19 July, we would urge all those who have not yet had their vaccine to come forward. It is really important that younger people come forward for a vaccine to protect themselves and their friends and family from the virus.

This weekend the public will be able to ‘grab a jab’ while enjoying the sun this weekend as the vaccine bus heads to the banks of the River Trent. The vaccine bus will be at Victoria Embankment, alongside the River Trent on Saturday 17 July and Sunday 18 July from 11am – 3pm.

As well as the vaccine bus, all vaccination sites across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire will be offering walk-in appointments for first and second doses. Second doses will be available for those who had their first dose 56 days (8 weeks) ago. The public can see the latest opening times on the website or alternatively can book an appointment online or by calling 119.
