WALK-IN clinics that will allow anyone without an appointment to be vaccinated will open across Sussex this weekend.

Any adult in the county will be able to “grab a jab” without an appointment at dozens of walk-in Covid-19 vaccination sites.

People aged 18 and over can just turn up at the NHS drop-in sites, which include car parks, churches and medical centres.

The drop-in centres are open for people having their first dose but can also provide second jabs for the over-40s who had their first at least eight weeks ago, or at least 12 weeks ago for the under-40s.

Health and Social Care secretary Matt Hancock said: “We are throwing open the doors of hundreds of vaccine centres across the country this weekend so anyone can just show up.

“I urge anyone who has yet to take up the offer to head to their nearest walk-in centre this weekend and get the life-saving jab.

“It’s becoming clearer all the time how effective our vaccines are in protecting against the Delta variant and with three in five people double-vaccinated, we’re well on our way to the whole country getting the fullest possible protection.

“So I’d urge everyone not yet fully vaccinated aged 18 and over to get your first and second doses as soon as possible to protect yourself and your loved ones.”

Sir Simon Stevens, NHS chief executive, said: “With more than 63 million jabs already delivered by the NHS in England, we’re now in a race to the finish line.

“It’s now easier than ever to get your life-saving jab, and the more of us who are vaccinated the safer and freer we all will be.

“So this weekend why not join millions of others and grab a jab to take advantage of this life-saving protection?”
