COVID-19 VACCINATION SERVICES

WALK-IN SESSIONS FOR THOSE 40+

Join the 80% of people within higher risk cohorts in South East London who have already been vaccinated. Protect yourself, your family and your friends by getting vaccinated.

If you are age 40+ or an adult of any age with certain medical conditions that increase your  risk of complications from COVID-19 you can attend one of these walk-in services in June to get your COVID-19 vaccine. No appointment is necessary.

These clinics will offer the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.  All approved COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective and give you the best protection against coronavirus.

You do not need proof of address, immigration status, ID or an NHS number.

If you can’t make any of these dates, for more information and to find out how you can book an appointment near you visit www.nhsselondonvaccinefacts.com

When attending for your 2nd vaccination please bring along your vaccination card. To save time at the appointment if you have the facility please print the prescreening questionnaire here: Covid vaccination consent form and complete prior to your appointment (if you are unable to do this we will complete on the day of your appointment).

If you are a patient of our GP practice and eligible for a COVID vaccination, we will contact you directly, alternatively you can book your vaccine online at www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination or call 119 without needing an invitation. If you are eligible to use this service but cannot get an appointment, please contact the GP surgery.


See the full list of priority groups here, and guidance on frontline health or social care workers, and the high and moderate risk categories here.

If you have any questions about the vaccine, please visit the South East London CCG COVID-19 vaccine site, where you will find a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions and answers.

COVID-19 vaccination status

From 17 May 2021, people in England who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can demonstrate their vaccination status for international travel. A full course is currently two doses of any approved vaccine. Vaccine status will be available from: 

• the NHS App which you can download from app stores 

• the NHS website 

• 119 - by requesting a paper letter

You will need to register to use the online services, if you have not already. It may take more than a week for your identity to be checked and verified.

If you cannot access the online services, and you have had both doses of the vaccine, you can request a paper letter from the NHS by calling 119. Only call 119 if you are due to travel outside the UK in the near future and have had your second dose more than 5 working days ago. It may take up to 7 working days for the letter to arrive.

This practice is not able to provide you with a letter that shows your COVID-19 vaccination status. Please do not contact the practice about your COVID-19 vaccination status unless you have been advised to by the 119 service.

When you're planning your travel, you should check the latest information on demonstrating your COVID-19 status when travelling abroad on the gov.uk website. Make sure there is enough time to get proof of your COVID-19 vaccination status before you are due to travel.

Supporting your recovery after COVID-19

Face coverings when using NHS services

All patients and visitors to NHS services must wear a face covering at all times. Click here for government guidance on how to make and wear a face mask.

Face mask exemption letters are not provided by the Practice. The latest Government guidance suggests there is no requirement for evidence for exemption. It should be sufficient for someone to declare that they are eligible for an exemption direct with the person questioning them (eg bus driver).  Practices are therefore not required to provide letters of support for those who fall under the list of exemptions, or to those who do not fall under the list of exemptions. Template exemption cards and badges are available to download here
