We are also encouraging people to take up the free lateral flow tests offered by the government as part of the community effort against coronavirus. You can order lateral flow tests here: Order coronavirus (COVID-19) rapid lateral flow tests - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
You can book your vaccination appointments online or by calling 119.
There is free transport for people in West Sussex who have no means to get to their vaccination appointment. Once someone has booked their vaccination appointment, they can apply for the free transport. Please call the West Sussex travel coordinators on 01444 275 008 to find out more.
The vaccine is now being given to:
- people aged 18 and over
- people at high risk from coronavirus (clinically extremely vulnerable)
- people who live or work in care homes
- health and social care workers
- people with a condition that puts them at higher risk (clinically vulnerable)
- people with a learning disability
- people who are a main carer for someone at high risk from coronavirus – find out more about Carer's Allowance on GOV.UK.
Anyone eligible will be invited by the NHS – either through the national booking system or through your local GP practice. There are also some walk-in sites now available. Find out more at: Find a walk-in coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination site - NHS (www.nhs.uk).
