Does your doctor call you to schedule an appointment?

Are there mass vaccination location that anyone can show up if they want to be vaccinated?

Can you get vaccinated at the drug store?

Do you need to book an appointment?

How does it work, and is it working well in your opinion?

It’s working pretty well in the UK. People are sent letters giving them a date and a time for their jab and you just turn up at your vaccination centre and it is done very quickly and with no queuing

The target was to vaccinate 15 million people in the top four priority groups – care home residents and workers, NHS frontline staff, the over-70s and the extremely clinically vulnerable – by mid-February and this has been achieved.

If you’re over 65, or are especially vulnerable and haven’t been contacted yet you can book an appointment at a pharmacy (drug store) or a vaccination centre.
