Ready to grab a jab?
Hey, well done – by navigating to this page you’ve taken the first step towards joining the 47 million others in the UK who are already protecting themselves, their family and friends from Covid-19.
Where can I get vaccinated?
Age 16+?
You can walk-in to the Science Museum on Exhibition Road, 9am to 7pm every day and it's open until Sunday 5 September. More details of where you can grab a jab can be found on the national website.
You can often get a jab on our vaccine bus, which travels around the borough, or at one of our pop-ups, but it’s not always possible if you’re under 18. Keep reading for more details.
Age 18+?
You can walk-in to the Science Museum on Exhibition Road, 9am to 7pm every day and it's open until Sunday 5 September. If you’re over 18 you can also book a timed slot on the national booking portal.
The vaccine bus travels around the area and you can just climb on board to grab a jab. Check out the timetable here to see when it’ll be near you.
We also have a programme of pop-up vaccination clinics where you can just drop in. We’ll publish details here as soon as each is confirmed. The next one is:
- Al-Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre, Saturday 28 August
244 Acklam Road, W10 5YG, open 10am to 5pm
Over 300 Pfizer vaccinations will be available to anyone aged 16+
What do I need to take?
Please bring ID with your name, address and proof of age. It’s also helpful if you have your NHS number, but if you can’t find it we can still vaccinate you.
Getting vaccinated only takes a few minutes, but at busy times you may have to wait a short while. Bring your phone, headphones and a drink to keep you going just in case!
What can I expect when I get there?
Here’s a short film we made at the Science Museum.
