This week’s drop-in vaccine clinics in South Tyneside

Fri 26th November 2021

To book an appointment at a local vaccine centre (The Glen, Cleadon Park or Flagg Court) at a specific time, or if you have questions about the vaccine, please call the South Tyneside Vaccination Contact Centre on 0191 283 1925 or speak with your GP practice.

Alternatively, you may prefer to attend a large centre such as the Centre for Life or the Nightingale Hospital (near Sunderland). To book an appointment, call 119 between 7am and 11pm or visit the national NHS website.

Details of groups eligible for booster jabs are listed further down the page. If you are in one of the eligible groups, you can only have the booster dose if it’s been at least 182 days since your second dose.

Important: Sometimes we experience more people turning up to our drop-in clinics than we expect. If this happens, we may need to politely ask that you come back later in the day or another day.
