Grab a jab at the Open

A team of Kent and Medway vaccinators are onsite at the Golf Open in Sandwich offering walk-in vaccinations to the many staff and visitors to the Open. It’s helping us get more jabs into the arms of young adults like Kristian Putman (25) who is working as a security officer at the Open.

Walk-in clinics across the county

There are more than 40 walk-in vaccine clinics running over Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week. Details of dates, times, locations and which vaccine is being given are on our walk-in page with a handy map to spot your nearest clinic.

Booked appointments still available

If you’d rather book in advance there are over 20 Kent and Medway vaccination clinics listed on the National Booking Service. You can book online or call 119.
