We are expecting all the vaccine to be Pfizer and will commence inviting peope to run clinics from the 4th October.

We will be running flu clinics at the same time. 

Boosters are widely available in other city sites currently, including Boots in Cornmarket Street and Exeter Hall in Kidlington.

Appointments are bookable here or by calling 119. Details of walk-in vaccine sites are here.

 

Children under 18 years

Those eligible aged 12-17 can have the Pfizer vaccine. Those under 12 can receive a lower dose Pfizer vaccine, which we will need to order in specifically.

If you are eligible and struggling to get this please leave your name with reception so we can arrange this if and when we receive the appropriate vaccine.
