The Jubilee Road Mosque in High Wycombe hosted a ‘pop-up’ COVID-19 vaccination clinic last weekend. The pop-up centre was operated by GPs on Sunday,14 March, with support from organisations including Wycombe Mosque, Wycombe Islamic Society (WISE), Karima, MEC and Jamia Rehmania. Buckinghamshire Council have confirmed that more pop-up vaccination sites are being planned across Buckinghamshire. Dr Sajid Zaib, Clinical Lead for the Stoke Mandeville Stadium Vaccination Centre and GP at Oakfield Surgery in Aylesbury, said: “The vaccination clinic at Jubilee Mosque was a tremendous success, following our earlier pop-up clinic in Aylesbury. We are very grateful for all the support we have had from the mosque and community leaders in High Wycombe who have helped us to get the vaccine out to people who need it.
A vaccination centre to combat Covid-19 has opened at the Aylesbury Mosque. The place of worship on Havelock Street has transformed into a pop-up centre at the end of February, and is operated by members of the team at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium Vaccination Centre, with the support of key members of the community. The centre/clinic is one of several in the town, as it joins many pharmacies that are conducting the jab, as well as Stoke Mandeville Stadium and Bucks New University’s Aylesbury campus on Walton Street. Dr Sajid Zaib, Clinical Lead for the Stoke Mandeville Stadium Vaccination Centre and GP at Oakfield Surgery, said: “The pop-up clinic went really well over the weekend and it was great to see so many people come to the mosque for their vaccination.

Anyone with even mild symptoms is being encouraged to arrange a test to help stop the spread of the virus.
