Get the flu and COVID vaccines at our health bus

As we enter the Autumn and Winter months it is important for us to take care of our health and wellbeing. Vaccines are our best protection against flu and COVID-19.

Over the last few years, they have kept tens of thousands of people out of hospital and helped to save countless lives.

In winter, flu and COVID-19 spread more easily as we spend more time indoors. Getting these vaccines ahead of winter are two of the most important things you can do to keep yourself and others around you safe and ‘get winter strong’.

Our health bus will be offering free winter vaccines in your local area on the following dates,

• Friday 10th November, 10am to 3.30pm, Earlsfield Baptist Church, Magdalen Road, SW18 3NZ
• Tuesday 14 November, 11am to 4.00pm, Tooting Market, Totterdown Street, SW17 0SN

NHS staff will be on hand, come and have a chat, you will be able to discuss vaccines, including any questions or concerns in a safe environment. There is no pressure to get vaccinated (please see eligibility criteria below).

Free COVID-19 test kits will also be available, alongside advice on how to stay well as the months get colder.
