NHS urges all Nottinghamshire over-65s to book their Covid vaccines

If you are over 65, you will receive a letter inviting you to book your Covid-19 vaccination appointment.

You can book via the local booking site or call 0115 8834640 between 8am and 8pm (Monday to Friday) and 9am to 5pm (Saturday to Sunday), or online here .

Over-65s can also call 119 or use the national booking link to book an appointment at the large scale Mansfield vaccination centre.

If you are clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) you can also call 0115 8834640, or click here to book an appointment

Amanda Sullivan, accountable officer for NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group said: “The progress being made by the teams on the ground is remarkable and we are grateful to all those supporting the vaccination programme for their continued hard work.

“It’s really important those who are most vulnerable in our community receive their vaccinations to help protect them against Covid-19.

"We have sent letters out to all over-65s inviting them for a vaccine and I would urge all those who are eligible to book an appointment as soon as they can.

“Health and care teams are working together to make sure people in all communities across the city and county are getting the vaccine but you can help too.

"Please urge friends, family and those close to you to book a vaccine if they are eligible. A helpful guide to support people to book and understand what is available is here.”

Residents can get vaccinated at a number of sites across the county including the old Central TV studios at King’s Meadow in Lenton as well as sites in Gamston, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Gedling, Mansfield and Newark.

People who are CEV, also identified as JCVI Cohort 6, will also begin to be invited for vaccination shortly.

There are lots of people in this cohort so people are advised not to worry if they do not get their letter straight away and instead just wait for it to arrive.
