 Anyone aged 18 years and over can get their COVID-19 vaccination at Portsmouth Football Club's stadium, Fratton Park, this weekend.
The clinic is being run by Solent NHS Trust, in partnership with Portsmouth FC and Portsmouth City Council, and is open from 12-6pm on Sunday 25 July. No appointments are necessary.
Individuals will be able to get their first or second dose (if it's been eight weeks since their first dose) of the AstraZeneca or Pfizer vaccine. Second doses of the Moderna vaccine are being offered at St James's Hospital.
As of 18 July, 141,985 adults in Portsmouth have received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccination, and 105,933 have received their second. This equates to 74.8% and 55.8% of the adult population respectively.
Other walk-in clinics across the city are also available.
More walk-in clinics are being offered throughout Portsmouth to make it easier for people to get their vaccination. This week, walk-in clinics are available at:
- St James' Hospital, Locksway Road - 8am-7.30pm - daily (first and second dose AstraZeneca and Moderna)
- Laly's Pharmacy, Guildhall Walk - 9am-1pm and 2-6pm Mon-Sat and 10am-2pm on Sun - daily until Sunday 25 July (first and second dose AstraZeneca and Pfizer)
- Mr Miyagi's bar, Guildhall Walk, 12-6pm - Thursday 22 July (first and second dose AstraZeneca and Pfizer)
- Fratton Park, 12-6pm - Sunday 25 July (first and second dose AstraZeneca and Pfizer)
If you are unable to attend any of the walk-in clinics but would still like your vaccination, you can use the national booking system to book an appointment. Please visit the NHS website or call 119.
 We are looking for volunteers to become Community Champions to help the NHS and council to increase uptake of the COVID-19 vaccination.
We need to reach everyone in our communities to communicate why it's important to get the vaccine, and want your help to share up-to-date and trusted information in your communities. We are particularly looking to recruit individuals from diverse communities across the city, but welcome applications from anyone aged 18+ and living or working in Portsmouth.
The role is voluntary and based from home, so you can do it whenever is most convenient to you. Find out more and register your interest below.
