Clinics at our community sites also available Booster appointments will be booked for when you are eligible
How to get your jabs: Walk in to our vaccine centres Guy's Hospital or St Thomas hospital: 8am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday If there is a queue, please come to the front and show your NHS staff ID badge you do not need to wait. It's helpful to bring your NHS number, if you have it. Book an appointment at the Trust email covidvaccinebookings@gstt.nhs.uk (please allow 48 hours for a response) call 020 7188 4040 (ext 84040). You can also use these contact details to amend an existing booking. Get vaccinated elsewhere If you would prefer not to receive your vaccinations at the Trust, you can get vaccinated at a vaccine centre convenient for you.
During your appointment: You ll have a short consultation to determine if you can have the COVID-19 vaccine as well as the flu jab If you can, you will be offered both there and then, in separate arms If you have to wait a little longer, you ll be offered the flu jab there and then and we will re-book you to receive your COVID-19 vaccine at another time Please note, it s handy to bring your NHS number with you if you have it, as it makes re-booking much easier.
Dont forget to test twice a week All staff are expected to do a lateral flow devise (LFD) test twice a week (every 3 to 4 days) to check if they have the virus. About 1 in 3 people with COVID-19 do not have symptoms but can still infect others. Even if you re vaccinated, there s still a chance you can pass COVID-19 on, so you should keep getting tested regularly. If people test positive and self-isolate, it helps stop the virus spreading. Just like washing your hands and wearing the right PPE, self-testing is a vital part of our infection prevention and control process. Order testing kits from the national system. We have also have a supply of testing kits that will be distributed across the Trust via our clinical groups and Essentia. DON T FORGET TO REPORT YOUR RESULTS:
