Booster rollout ramping up ahead of Christmas

Fri, 17 Dec 2021

A major expansion in the Island’s rollout of booster jabs is underway.

From tomorrow, top-up jabs will be available to all adults aged 40 and over and those in at-risk groups.

Walk-in clinics have been organised at the Chester Street vaccination hub, where an additional 3,000 slots are being made available between Saturday and Christmas Eve. The extra slots are in addition to existing appointments – those which have been booked by people online, and those sent out by letter.

The walk-in slots are available to anyone aged 40 and over and those who are medically vulnerable regardless of whether they already have an appointment - which means people can get vaccinated sooner than was previously planned by attending a walk-in session. There is no need to cancel a booked appointment – that will be handled by the admin team at the walk-ins.  Those who wish to retain their pre-booked appointments can do so, and attend as invited. 

The walk-in clinic times are:

Saturday 18 December - 9.30am - 1pm

Monday 20 December – 8:30am – 15:45pm

Tuesday 21 December – 8:30am – 15:45pm

Wednesday 22 December – 8:45am – 15:15pm

Thursday 23 December - 8:45am - 11:15am

Friday 24 December (Christmas Eve) – 8:45am - 11:15am
