COVID-19 catch-up clinics

COVID-19 catch-up clinics

The NHS School Immunisation Team are running community catch-up clinics for children aged 12 – 15 years old who were unable to receive their 1st or 2nd Covid-19 vaccination in school for any reason.

These Covid-19 vaccination clinics will be carried out in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire by teams of vaccinators from the Vaccination Centre @ UWE Bristol and from local Primary Care Networks (PCN), co-ordinated by our School Aged Immunisation Team.

There must be a 12 week interval between first and second doses and students must also have had 12 weeks since any positive COVID test to be vaccinated.

First and second dose Covid-19 vaccination appointments can also be booked at a dedicated GP clinic or Vaccination Centre clinic using the online National Booking Service or by calling 119. Walk-in clinics offering Covid-19 vaccinations for this age group can also be found at www.grabajab.net
