Vaccinations

Patients can book their vaccine using the national NHS booking service when their age group becomes eligible.

This will allow you to find a suitable date and time at a site including the Kassam Stadium vaccination centre (or other large centre in a neighbouring county) and a participating community pharmacy.

Currently, people aged 21 and over can book their first dose on the system.
