A ‘pop-up’ clinic at Streatham Library on Saturday 10 April saw 180 local people coming forward for their first COVID-19 vaccination, boosting Lambeth numbers and providing easy, high street access to this life-saving protection.
Those attending included many who were initially hesitant to get a vaccine, some who were not registered with a GP, as well as some registered patients who struggle to book appointments in the usual way.
Frontline health and care workers in Lambeth can get their vaccine via the South East London CCG
Those who are frontline health and care workers are eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccination as part of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) priority groups to prevent mortality and maintain health and social care systems.
Around 90 participants joined an event to discuss the Covid-19 vaccines
Lambeth Together partners from the local NHS and Lambeth Council hosted ‘It’s Time to talk about the Vaccines’ – an online event for Lambeth’s Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities on Monday March 22.
