Walk-in clinics are available open this weekend and across the half-term holidays to get teenagers and adults vaccinated as Covid-19 cases continue to rise again across the UK.

Young people between 12 and 15 are having jabs arranged through their schools, but some are missing out because of illness or other issues. Others are finding that the national booking service is not offering any local services.

But just as over-16s can use walk-in clinics, special clinics have been arranged across south-east London to make sure younger people can get Pfizer jabs. All services are open to all residents in the NHS South East London area – Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark.

St Thomas’ Hospital, close to Waterloo station, is offering a daily walk-in service from Monday to Saturday from 9am to 6pm.
