Covid vaccine walk-in clinics in Bourne and Holbeach - plus pregnancy and needle phobic sessions

Walk-in vaccine clinics are running in south Lincolnshire today and tomorrow - and specialist sessions are operating for pregnant women and people with a phobia of needles.

There will be a pop-up clinic from 10am until 7pm today at the Darby and Joan Hall in South Street in Bourne.

Then tomorrow a clinic will be held at the Holbeach United Services Club at 50 Church Street in Holbeach from 10am to 7pm.

In both cases boosters and first and second doses are available for anyone eligible, including 12-15 year-olds provided a parent/guardian is present to offer their consent.

There's no need for an appointment, with jabs offered on a first come first served basis.

As well as this, the NHS is offering special sessions for pregnant women and people who are needle phobic at the Princess Royal Sports Arena at Wyberton Fen.

The Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group explained: "These dedicated sessions are to provide the opportunity for pregnant women to have a discussion with a midwife about the Covid vaccination, and to provide a quiet environment should they want to get vaccinated.

"Similarly, with the walk-in sessions for people who are needle-phobic, the purpose is to provide the opportunity to attend for vaccination during a quieter time at PRSA and at the Lincolnshire Showground, when there’s also less time pressure around the length of each appointment."

Those sessions will be as follows:

Pregnancy walk-in

Princess Royal Sports Arena, Boston:

• 20th January 9am-1pm

• 24th January 9am-1pm

• 26th January 9am-1pm

Needle phobic walk-in

Princess Royal Sports Arena, Boston

• 25th January 9am-1pm

• 27th January 9am-1pm

The PRSA also acts as a mass vaccination centre, running from 2pm to 7.30pm on weekdays and 8am to 7.30pm at weekends.
