How to get your coronavirus vaccine
23 June 2021
COVID-19 vaccines are being offered to everyone aged 18 or over at local sites run by GPs or community pharmacies, at larger vaccination centres and in some hospitals. Some local NHS areas are also working with partners to set up “pop up” clinics.
Booking your vaccination through the national NHS system
Registering with a GP will help make sure you get an invitation to book your COVID-19 vaccine. Students can find out more about how to do this on the Student Support and Wellbeing website.
You may also be able to request a vaccination through a GP surgery if you are not registered there – find out more from NHS England’s Frequently Asked Questions document for university students.
- You can find more information on the NHS website.
Pop-up clinics
You can find out if pop-up clinics are being run close to you by checking your local Council webpages. You don’t always have to be registered with a GP to be eligible to attend, but please do check beforehand.
If you live close to UCL you can find information about pop-up clinics on the Camden Council or Islington Council pages.
