Sixteens and Seventeens Get Jab

Sixteens and Seventeens Get Jab

It’s been announced that 16 & 17 year olds are now eligible for their first Covid-19 vaccination and don’t need parental consent to get a vaccine. The group can’t book via the national booking service but will be contacted by the NHS or can attend a walk in centre.

Walk-in clinics available
To help with vaccinating 16 and 17-year-olds and to continue to increase vaccination uptake, the NHS and Sheffield City Council have been working to provide clinics and support in key areas across the city at:

• Sheffield NHS vaccination centre, Longley Lane, Sheffield S5 7JN, is open 8am – 5pm on Monday to Sunday.

• Darnall Primary Care Centre, 290 Main Road, Darnall, Sheffield, S9 4QH. Open 7pm – 9pm, Monday – Friday and 9am – 4.30pm Saturday and Sunday – currently for those over 17 and ¾ only

1AST Pharmacy.

• Heeley Parish Church, Gleadless Road, S2 3AE. Open 9am – 6pm, from Wednesday – Friday. Ran by 1AST Pharmacy

As well as 16 – 18 year olds now being eligible for the Covid vaccine, some 12 – 15 year olds in the UK can have it, too. Find out about who is eligible in our Disability Sheffield video short video.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
