An urgent national appeal has been launched calling for people to get their Covid-19 vaccinations. The national booking service is currently facing extremely high demand so if you cannot book at first, please be patient and try again later. Additional appointments are regularly being added to the site. Please do not call your GP surgery regarding Covid-19 vaccinations.
All over 18s who had their second vaccination more than three months ago are now eligible to book their booster jab. First and second doses are also still available for all those aged 12 and over.

In Devon, the average number of weekly vaccinations will increase from 55,000 to 112,000. Large vaccination centres are moving to a seven-day-a-week operation and are extending their opening hours. Opening hours and days of operation are also being extended at other vaccination centres and community pharmacies.

Walk-in vaccinations are also available at some of the larger sites as well as at pop-up clinics – these are advertised on social media (follow NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group on Facebook) and online here. Please do ensure you are eligible before going to a vaccination centre, and be patient when you arrive.
Plans are in place to deliver the required 10,000 vaccinations to people who are housebound across Devon by the new national target date of 25 December.
When attending a vaccination site, please be prepared for a wait. Bring warm clothes, a hot drink and anything else that might help while you wait. Use public transport where possible when accessing vaccination sites as demand is high and traffic congestion has been reported at many sites.
