Dr Eric Kelly, Chair of NHS Bassetlaw CCG and local GP said “We all know that the Covid-19 vaccination is our best protection against coronavirus, so we want to help everyone who is eligible in Bassetlaw to get their vaccine.

“We understand how many residents need to fit their jabs in and around other commitments and that getting vaccinated becomes much easier when you can drop in somewhere close to where you live or work”

“Alternatively, people can still choose to book their vaccination appointment online via www.nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119 where they can simply book a convenient time and venue to suit.

The COVID Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself, family and friends from the virus.

We continue to ask the public to play their part and follow the rules to contain the virus by remembering hands, face, space at all times whether you have had the vaccine or not."
