Updates: vaccines for more residents

There have been a few developments and clarifications since our newsletter last night which will make vaccinations in Hounslow accessible for even more residents across the Borough. Read on to find out more.

Over 18? You may be able to get a vaccine (at Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre only)

From this evening, if you're over the age of 18 you may be able to receive a vaccine by queuing at Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre only at the end of the day (after 5.30pm Mon-Thurs) pending vaccine availability.

You will need to bring photo ID and your NHS number if you have one. Queues are likely, so please remember to social distance and observe Hands, Face, Space.

You will only ever be turned away from a queue due to a lack of vaccine supply - this may vary from day to day as we are operating this programme using surplus vaccines.

Queueing will not guarantee a vaccine, but teams on the doors will be able to advise at 5.30pm if there is availability that day. If there is availability, please join the queue between 5.30 and 6.30pm. Last admittance will be at 7.20pm each day.

If you're travelling to the Centre then please plan your journey to reduce contact as much as possible.

Both Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre and The Compass Centre at Heathrow are also drop-in vaccination clinics open for the eligible age categories (currently 38+). The Compass Centre is open for drop-ins Mon-Thurs 9am-7pm and Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre is Mon-Thurs 9am-7pm.

Drop-ins  are not available at Brentford Friday to Sunday.

Aged 38 or older? If you're eligible, find out how to get your vaccine

If you are aged 38 or over, are clinically vulnerable, a frontline worker or a carer, you can now book your COVID-19 vaccination through the NHS website even if you haven’t yet received a letter. Appointments are available at sites across the Borough and also Ealing, Wembley and Hammersmith.

We are aware of other scam messages circulating – please ignore them. The NHS will never ask you for money or your bank details for your vaccination – it is free. 

You can book an appointment now if:

• you are aged 38 or over
• you are at high risk from coronavirus (clinically extremely vulnerable)
• you are an eligible frontline health or social care worker
• you have a condition that puts you at higher risk (clinically vulnerable)

You can book appointments at a larger vaccination centres or a pharmacy that provides COVID-19 vaccinations.

Please make sure you plan your journey responsibly to allow for as much social distancing as possible.
