Drop in COVID-19 vaccinations in town today

A drop in COVID-19 vaccination session is in Spalding this Saturday while the main centre in Boston is being repaired after storm damage.

Jabs will be available to those eligible at Broad Street Methodist Church from 10am to 4pm.

Storm Eunice caused considerable damage across the entire country, including at PRSA Mass Vaccination Centre, Boston, where it damaged the roof of the main building that the local vaccination team uses.

“The team responded magnificently and took all sensible precautions, including moving the vaccination programme off-site,” explains Rebecca Neno, Director of Covid and Influenza Vaccination Programmes, NHS Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group.

“They very quickly moved to Fenside Community Centre, just a couple of miles away from PRSA, where they are operating a series of pop-up walk-in sessions, both for people who were previously booked in for an appointment at PRSA, as well as for anyone who wants to walk-in without an appointment.

“Since this temporary move to Fenside Community Centre, the team have been busy vaccinating, and we’re really pleased that people are continuing to come forwards for their vaccinations. 

“We think work will begin next week on repairing the damage to PRSA, and when we know when we can re-open it, we will let people know.”
