To make it easier for Hackney residents to get vaccinated a number of vaccination sites have opened across the borough

Anyone over 18 can now get the jab with churches, pharmacies and chemists now offering walk-in vaccinations to residents.

The news comes as Hackney Covid cases continue to rise in less vaccinated age groups.

Those looking to get vaccinated do not need to make an appointment or be registered with a GP, and they do not need to provide proof of address to get the first or second dose of the vaccine.

AstraZeneca is usually offered to people over 40 and Pfizer or Moderna to people under 40 or anyone who is pregnant or has certain medical conditions.

Here are the Hackney and City locations where people can walk-in and get vaccinated:

  • Boots, 120 Fleet Street. AstraZeneca, Moderna vaccine. Open Monday to Friday at 8.45am-5.15pm/

Dr Sandra Husbands, Director of Public Health for Hackney said: “Two doses of the vaccine are needed for maximum protection against Covid-19, that is why I am urging all residents to make sure to attend their second dose appointment, which should be eight-12 weeks after the first.

“We are working with the NHS to ensure that there are plenty of clinics locally either at pop-up venues in the community, or at your local pharmacy so people can easily access their second dose of the vaccine in Hackney.

“The Delta variant is now the most common strain in London and this has been shown to pass easily from person to person. Thankfully, we know that having both doses of the vaccine gives you the best possible protection against becoming seriously ill, even with this variant and will reduce transmission.”

You can also pre-book a vaccine appointment at other London venues by calling 119 or visiting NHS.uk
