How to get a vaccine appointment at three Leicester hospitals

Thursday, 4 February 2021 at 10:42

Over-70s and the extremely vulnerable who haven't received an invitation for a jab can now book online.

'Hospital hubs' been set up at Leicester Royal, Leicester General, and Glenfield hospitals so eligible patients can get their first vaccine dose.

It's hoped the appointments will help ensure everyone in the top four priority groups has been vaccinated by the government's mid-February target.

A similar scheme had been put in place for one week last month with a limited number of appointments due to surplus of the vaccine. Although no numbers have been set this time, patients are encouraged to book an appointment as soon as possible as they're expected to fill fast.

A vaccine booking can be made at one of the following hospital sites by clicking on the relevant link and following the instructions below:
