Drop-in for your vaccination at Alice Way Gurdwara, TODAY [Wednesday 19 May]

Residents of Heston, Cranford and surrounding areas in Hounslow can walk in and get their first dose of the vaccine at a drop-in clinic at Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha in Alice Way on Wednesday 19 May — even if they have not got an appointment.

Vaccinators will include Panjabi-speaking health professionals, and translations will be made available.

Date: Wednesday, 19 May

Time: 11:30 -16:00

Venue: Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Alice Way, Hounslow TW3 3UA.

There is no need to book an appointment; the walk-in service is available to everyone over the age of 40 or younger if the guidance changes before the clinic.

Residents are also eligible if they fall under the following categories:

  • At a high risk from COVID-19 (clinically extremely vulnerable)
  • Have a condition that puts you at higher risk (clinically vulnerable)
  • Have a learning disability
  • Are an eligible frontline health or social care worker
  • Get a Carer’s Allowance, get support following an assessment by your local authority or your GP record shows you are a carer.

It would be helpful if attendees can bring identification or a NHS number, but this is not a requirement.

Rise in new variants and the vaccine

Across all NW London boroughs [Brent, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster], we are seeing a rise in the rates of new Covid-19 variants.

There is no evidence to suggest the Covid-19 vaccine is not working in terms of providing protection against variants, but it has never been more important to come forward for your first vaccine and ensure you have your second for maximum protection.

All our large vaccination centres listed below will all be providing Pfizer vaccines from tomorrow.

Anyone over the age of 36 can now book at https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/or walk-in to one of our vaccination centres for a first dose of the vaccine. GPs are also sending invites, so you can book in.

Walk-in availability varies, booking guarantees you a slot, services are open 09:00 – 19:00.

Second doses

To help ensure residents get the maximum protection possible, we are bringing forward the date of second vaccines from 12 weeks to 8 weeks.

If you attended a pharmacy or large vaccination centre and booked your seconded dose through the national booking system www.nhs.uk — you will be texted to invite you to change your second appointment. You will need to cancel the appointment you have and rebook — there are plenty of appointments available to do this.
