Richmond residents can receive COVID-19 vaccines at a walk-in clinic in the Town Centre this weekend.

No appointments or NHS numbers are required for the clinic on Saturday (July 10), to make the process "as convenient and easy as possible."

Both Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines will be available at Richmond Adult Community College, from 10 am – 6 pm.

The walk-in clinic will allow people to attend at a time that is convenient for them and means groups of friends can attend together to have their first doses.

It is also an opportunity for people who missed their second dose of the vaccine or haven’t booked it yet to ensure they are fully vaccinated.

Second doses are only given to those who received their first 8 weeks ago or more.

This is the latest walk-in clinic available in Richmond upon Thames – with others planned in the weeks ahead around the borough.

Richmond GP, Dr Patrick Gibson said:

“The NHS and Richmond Council have worked together closely to organise this local walk-in clinic for Richmond residents to make getting the vaccination as convenient and easy as possible.

“If you’re planning to be in Richmond in Saturday, or live near-by, and haven’t yet had your vaccine, please come along and see us.

Cllr Piers Allen, Chair of the Adult Social Services, Health and Housing Services Committee and Chair of the Health and Wellbeing Board at Richmond Council, said:

“Whilst many local people have had their vaccine, we know that there are pockets of people who are still yet to have their jab. This includes people who live in South Richmond.

“With the restrictions about to be lifted, it is more important now than ever to make sure that you are vaccinated. We can all see our case numbers are rocketing. And whilst the vaccine can’t totally prevent you from getting the virus, it will reduce the likelihood of you needing to go to hospital."
