This does not include those aged 40-49 needing a booster dose; those aged 16-17 not in at risk groups for their second dose, and those aged 12-15 not in at risk groups needing their single dose.” “Anyone who would prefer a booked appointment can continue to book these via the National Booking Service at www.nhs.uk/covidvaccine Dr Gary Howsam, Chair of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “It’s great news that vaccination centres are opening up to all eligible cohorts on a walk-in basis. The vast majority of those being hospitalised with serious illness from Covid-19 are those who have not been vaccinated. We strongly encourage everyone who is eligible to arrange their first, second, third primary or booster dose now. “Vaccines are the best way to protect yourselves and your loved ones and reducing covid-related hospital admissions will help the NHS cope better during the winter months and reduce disruption to routine and planned care.” Further information on walk-in vaccination services is available at www.thevaccinators.co.uk End Editors notes: Large scale vaccination centres are open seven days a week at the following locations: Horsefair Shopping Centre, Wisbech, Cambs PE13 1AR The Grafton Centre, Cambridge CB1 1PS Chesterton Indoor Bowls Centre, Logan’s Way, Chesterton, Cambridge CB4 1BL The Eatons Community Centre, Eaton Socon, St Neots PE19 8ES The Oaktree Centre, 1 Oak Drive, Huntingdon PE29 7HN Queensgate Shopping Centre, PeterboroughPE1 1NT Who is eligible for a booster jab six months after their second jab: people aged 40 and over people who live and work in care homes frontline health and social care workers people aged 16 and over with a health condition that puts them at high risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19 people aged 16 and over who are a main carer for someone at high risk from COVID-19 people aged 16 and over who live with someone who is more likely to get infections (such as someone who has HIV, has had a transplant or is having certain treatments for cancer, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis) People who are pregnant and in 1 of the eligible groups can also get a booster dose.
