Residents are being reminded that a Covid vaccine site is still up and running and are encouraged to be vaccinated if they've not yet been.

Pharmacy2U continues to offer vaccines at its site at 11 High West Street and will do throughout the summer holidays.

The pharmacy has been operating Covid-19 vaccination sites across England since January 2021 and has so far vaccinated more than one million people against the virus.

Phil Day, superintendent pharmacist at Pharmacy2U, said: "Despite the easing of Covid restrictions, this remains a vitally important service for people across the country ensuring the most vulnerable in our communities continue to be protected against Covid-19. 

"The NHS has been working above and beyond expectation for more than a year, and it's important that they get the support they need. We've been working hard to make sure we can offer these sites and help our existing and new patients, whilst alleviating pressure on the NHS. 

"All our clinics are also open to adults who have not yet started or finished their vaccine course."

Pharmacy2U can offer first, second and booster vaccines. For those aged between five and 15, parents and guardians are asked to attend vaccination sites with their children. All vaccinations are administered by a qualified healthcare professional.

Mark Livingstone, CEO of Pharmacy2U, said: "We are incredibly proud at pharmacy2U to help play our part in protecting people across the country and supporting the incredible effort the NHS has put into the vaccination programme.

"Our fully immunisation trained pharmacists and other healthcare professionals will be giving patients these vital vaccinations, providing an essential service to help prevent the spread of the virus. 

"We're working closely with the national and regional NHS teams to deliver further vaccination sites for patients in areas that need them most."
