People aged over 65 are eligible for their covid vaccine and are now able to book an appointment at one of our vaccination hubs.
The NHS in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland is encouraging eligible people to come forward as current vaccine levels mean we can offer the vaccine to more people in the over 65s category and move to the next people in the priority list as soon as possible.
To book an appointment at one of our sites, you will need to use the following links and follow the booking process:

People must attend the appointment alone wherever possible, wearing a face covering and observe social distancing rules when on site. People are asked to attend the appointment on time, rather than early as this helps support social distancing on site.
Slots also remain open to anyone eligible who has previously been invited for a vaccine but not yet made an appointment.
The option of booking at one of the hospital sites is an alternative to being inviting to book by your GP or going through the national booking service.
To book through the national booking service you can do this online or by calling 119, anytime between 7am and 11pm seven days a week. Options through this service could be attendance at the Peepul Centre, Leicester or one of three pharmacies approved to offer the vaccine
