EVERYONE who wants a vaccine will be offered one in due course – but how does it work?
Most of the general public will either be vaccinated through a GP led vaccination service, or at a large vaccination centre.
There are three sites in Brighton and Hove which are GP led. Which one you go to will depend on which GP you are signed up to.

The County Oak Medical Centre site is for patients at Brighton Station Health Centre, Carden Surgery, Montpelier Surgery, Seven Dials Medical Centre and the University of Sussex Health Centre.
The Portslade Health Centre site is for patients at Brighton Health and Wellbeing Centre, Benfield Valley Healthcare Hub, Charter Medical Group, Hove Medical Centre, Links Road Surgery, Mile Oak Medical Centre, Portslade Health Centre, Trinity Medical Centre and Wish Park Surgery.
It may be the case that you will be directed to a large vaccination site to receive your jab. In Brighton and Hove, this is at the Brighton Centre on the seafront.
People must not contact their GP surgery, you will be contacted when it is your turn to receive the vaccine.
At present, the priority remains the over 80s, with the over 70s and clinically extremely vulnerable to follow shortly.
The current government plan is to vaccinate as many people as possible with a single jab while delaying the second for up to three months.
