Thousands of COVID vaccines are available over the coming days for 16 and 17 year olds across our communities.
16 and 17 year olds are now eligible for one dose of the COVID vaccine, as part of the continued roll out of the vaccination programme.
Local vaccination services have been contacting 16 and 17 year olds who are registered with GP practices to invite them for appointments, and some walk in sessions have been taking place.
But, this week many more walk in clinics have been set up for this age group to make it as easy as possible for teenagers to receive their vaccination.
A spokesperson for the Sussex COVID-19 vaccination programme said:
“Our vaccination teams have been working hard to call in 16 and 17 year olds for their vaccine, but we know that walk in clinics really work for this group so they can come with family and friends.
“There are more than ten sites which are open for walk in vaccinations – with Brighton, Chichester and Eastbourne open every single day.
“With schools and colleges re-opening next week after the summer, we want as many 16 and 17 year olds to be protected before term starts, and so we encourage anyone who is in this age group and who hasn’t had it yet to come forward this week.”
Free transport is also available to anyone who could not get to a vaccination site. More information is available here.
