As well as these drop-in sessions there are also other ways for eligible people to get their vaccinations. You can book appointments for the seasonal Covid-19 and flu vaccinations using the National Booking Service website. Please note that you may have to travel to the appointments booked over the national booking service and will have to provide your own transport. 

To help people that are unable to travel to a vaccination clinic a free resident transport service is now available. The service has been set up to provide eligible residents in Leicestershire and Rutland the opportunity to get vaccinated this autumn by helping them to get to and from a vaccination clinic if they live remotely or have no other means of transportation.

To check your eligibility please call: 01530 512456. The service is open Monday – Friday 9am to 5pm. Please note the service provider will check your eligibility and will book you into a suitable Covid-19 and flu clinic. The service will arrange for people to be taken to and from their appointment, all at no cost.
