Residents in Richmond are invited to get their COVID-19 vaccine this Saturday at a walk-in clinic in the Town Centre, with no appointments or NHS numbers required.

The clinic will be at Richmond Adult Community College, from 10am – 6pm on Saturday July 10.

No appointments will be needed and both Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines will be available. The walk-in clinic will allow people to attend at a time that is convenient for them and means groups of friends can attend together to have their first doses.

It is also an opportunity for people who missed their second dose of the vaccine or haven't got round to booking it, to ensure they are fully vaccinated. However, please remember that second doses are ONLY given to those who received their first 8 weeks ago or more.

This is the latest walk-in clinic available in Richmond upon Thames – with others planned in the weeks ahead around the borough.

Richmond GP, Dr Patrick Gibson said: "The NHS and Richmond Council have worked together closely to organise this local walk-in clinic for Richmond residents to make getting the vaccination as convenient and easy as possible.

"If you're planning to be in Richmond in Saturday, or live near-by, and haven't yet had your vaccine, please come along and see us.

"If you missed your second dose of the vaccine or didn't get round to booking it, you are also welcome to attend – but please make sure you had your first jab eight weeks ago or more. Otherwise you will be turned away and asked to return to a future clinic."
