WALK-IN Covid-19 vaccination clinics that allow anyone without an appointment to get a jab are now open.

Anyone over the age of 18 can visit several sites across Brighton and Hove to receive their first dose.

While second dose vaccinations are also available, they are only accessible to people who have waited more than eight weeks since their fist vaccine.

The sessions are taking place in a bid to increase vaccine take up as government coronavirus restrictions are eased.

In the city, 73 per cent of people have had their first vaccination and 54 per cent have had their second.

A spokeswoman for Sussex Covid-19 vaccination programme said: “Time is of the essence to get everyone the protection they need.

“Now that summer is here, the city is full of life again and vaccination is more important than ever to protect the most vulnerable in our communities.

“Brighton is a wonderful place which is why so many people visit the city every year, we’re pleased to be welcoming people back to the city but we have to balance the risk by getting the vaccination out to as many people as possible in the coming weeks.”
