There’s now another opportunity to get your COVID-19 jab in Buckinghamshire with the opening of a new vaccination centre.

Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust has opened a new facility at Buckinghamshire New University’s Aylesbury Campus on Walton Street, which will be providing appointment and walk-in opportunities.

The centre opened its doors today (December 9) for a ‘soft launch’ and will be open each Saturday and Sunday from 8.30am – 5.30pm.

On Saturdays the centre is open for anyone needing a booster, including those over 50s, people in clinical risk groups and carers. On Sundays we will be offering vaccines for children and those requiring their primary vaccine courses (normally first and second doses).

Anyone who needs a jab is advised to make an appointment via the National Booking Service although walk-in vaccinations are also available. To get a walk-in jab or booster simply arrive during opening hours and the team will help you.

The opening of the vaccination centre at the university fills the gap left when the centre at the Guttmann Centre in the town closed a few weeks ago.

Michelle Little, Oxford Health’s Clinical Lead for Vaccination and Population Health, said: “We are pleased to be returning to the home of our first Bucks vaccination centre at the university and to, once again, give people in and around Aylesbury a convenient option for getting their COVID-19 protection.”
