Appointments can be made at vaccination centres, including Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich and University Hospital Lewisham. Alternatively, you can book to have the vaccine at community pharmacists. To book, visit the NHS website or call 119 free of charge. You no longer need to have a letter from the NHS to book; you just need to give your NHS number and date of birth. However, if you would prefer to receive the vaccine at a GP surgery, then you should wait to be contacted. The COVID-19 vaccine is safe, effective and gives you the best protection from coronavirus. The sooner we are all vaccinated, the sooner we can see our friends and get London back to normal, added the trust.
