UPCOMING TOUR DATES 2022

Get your COVID-19 jab at one of our walk-in clinics. You only need to bring a face covering along.

Patients aged 18+ can get their second dose 8 weeks after their first dose. Most 12-17s must wait 12 weeks. If you or your child is in an at-risk group and is therefore eligible to have the second dose 8 weeks after the first dose, please bring the letter you received from the NHS as proof of eligibility.

Most of our vaccination walk-in clinics now offer booster vaccinations. Where a venue does not offer boosters, this is clearly indicated below.​

Please click on the walk-in clinic you are interested in to find out more about opening hours, eligible age groups, and available doses at the site.

WHAT THE FANS THINK

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

WHY BOTHER IF I’VE ALREADY HAD COVID?

If you’ve tested positive for COVID-19, getting vaccinated will give you longer-lasting protection than relying on your immunity alone.

Most people in hospital who are very sick with COVID-19 aren’t vaccinated.

Getting vaccinated helps reduce the spread of COVID-19 to others you’re in contact with, especially those living with chronic medical conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.

You need to wait for 28 days from the day of your positive test for a vaccine or booster

SHOULD I GET A VACCINE IF YOUNG PEOPLE AREN’T AT RISK FROM COVID-19?

You might be healthy, but young people can still be at risk from developing nasty COVID-19 symptoms that can lead to hospitalisation, especially if you’re unvaccinated.

Even if COVID-19 doesn’t badly impact you at the time, you could still suffer from Long-Covid which can make you tired, breathless, cause brain fog and more for months afterwards. To lower your risk, get the vaccine.

If you have further questions about COVID and having a jab such as is it safe, what are side effects and more, visit the Everything Covid website.
