Pop-up vaccination centre at Springfields today

A pop-up COVID-19 vaccination centre is at Springfields in Spalding until 4pm today (Wednesday, December 29).

Members of the public can walk in for a jab without having to make an appointment.

It can be for boosters, first or second doses.  The team will also vaccinate 12-15 year-olds provided a parent/guardian is present to consent.

Rebecca Neno, director of covid and Influenza Vaccination Programmes, NHS Lincolnshire CCG, said: “In the last ten days (excluding Christmas Day and Boxing Day) we have given 79,247 booster vaccinations to people at our sites across the county, which is amazing, and we continue to pull out all the stops to ensure everyone eligible is offered a booster vaccination, in line with the government’s commitment. 

“In addition, we are still running the ‘evergreen’ offer whereby people can still get first and second doses if they’ve not already had them, so please come and see us – either at one of our pop-up events or at one of our vaccination centres – as soon as possible.”

The walk-in vaccination site in Boston also remains open.
