Patients do not need to be registered with a GP practice or have an NHS number in order to attend a drop-in clinic. If you have any questions about the vaccine, you will be able to chat on-site before you have it.
Patients must also be free of all Covid symptoms to attend a walk-in clinic and receive a vaccination.
