Pregnant or trying and worried about the vaccine?

You can walk-in to Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre without an appointment to have a simple conversation with a midwife or neonatal nurse about your vaccine concerns, from Monday-Thursday, 8am-8pm.

Unvaccinated pregnant women with COVID-19 have a higher risk of intensive care admission.

Women with COVID-19 disease are also more likely to give birth prematurely.

Vaccinations offer pregnant women the best protection against COVID-19 and serious related complications that may put a pregnancy at risk.

If you are pregnant or thinking of getting pregnant, speak to a clinician or midwife about getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
