It’s not too late to get a COVID vaccine

COVID hasn’t gone away, and is actually on the rise again. But it is not too late to get vaccinated.

The COVID-19 vaccine is free in the UK and available to everyone aged 5 and over. You do not need to be registered with a GP or prove your identity, address or immigration status to get it. 

Getting both doses of the vaccine, plus a booster if you’re aged 16+ is the best way to protect yourself and others. 

  • Book your appointment online through the NHS booking system via nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119 for free. When you call 119, you can speak to a translator if you need to.  
  • Visit a walk-in vaccination clinic – The walk-in vaccination clinics currently open in Camden are listed in the table further down this page. 
  • Drop by Camden’s COVID-19 vaccination bus – upcoming stops listed below
  • If you want to book your vaccination appointment and you have difficulties communicating or hearing, or you are a British Sign Language (BSL) user, you can use textphone 18001 119 or the NHS 119 BSL interpreter service.
  • If you need any other support to book, call the Council on 020 7974 4444 (option 9)

Health & Wellbeing in Camden — Consultation

A message from Camden Council:

In Camden it remains an unacceptable truth that men and women born in the most affluent areas live 18 and 19 longer years longer in a healthy state than their counterparts in the most deprived areas. Together, we seek to reverse these inequalities and make Camden the very best place to start well, live well and age well.

Camden’s draft Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2021-30 six-week consultation opens on 1st November and will close on 13th December. We want to hear your views on our proposed approach to improve health and wellbeing. Whether you live, work or receive care in the borough, we want your voice to be at the heart of the new strategy.

To find out more and to share your views, please visit the consultation website:
Share Your Views On Joint Health And Wellbeing Strategy 2021-2030 – Commonplace

Please also promote the consultation with your communities and networks by sharing the website and this consultation leaflet.

If you have any questions or would like accessible versions of the strategy, please contact healthandwellbeingboard@camden.gov.uk or call 0207 974 5827.

Free COVID-19 vaccinations in Camden

A message from Camden Council:

Camden Council logo

If you haven’t yet had your first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, there are pop-up vaccine events happening in Camden every day this week except for Sunday, many of which don’t require bookings in advance – see below for more info or visit camden.gov.uk/getting-the-vaccine.

If you haven’t had your first dose then please pop-along and get vaccinated – and why not invite unvaccinated friends and family members to join you? Unless stated otherwise, if you’re eligible for your second dose of the vaccine you’ll be able to get that too but you must have had the same vaccine for your first dose. Click here for more information.

You don’t need to be registered with a GP or have an NHS number to be vaccinated and we won’t ask for proof of ID, address or immigration status.

Alternatively, you can also book a vaccine appointment by calling 119 for free or visiting nhs.uk/coronavirusvaccine. Those not registered with a GP can complete the form at camden.gov.uk/form and anyone needing support to book an appointment can call us on 020 7974 4444 (option 9).

If you’re not free this week, we’ll be adding all local vaccine events to our website at camden.gov.uk/getting-the-vaccine
