Vaccination centre established at Twickenham Stoop
Twickenham Stoop has opened a new vaccination centre.
The King’s Bar now known as Chris Robshaw Bar, is hosting vaccinations seven days a week for those eligible.
Only people who have been invited can receive a Covid-19 jab – the centre is being operated by appointment only.
Appointments are staggered to allow for social distancing and people are urged not to turn up early to avoid queues building up.
Dr Patrick Gibson, lead GP for Richmond, said: “I’m incredibly proud of our teams for getting this vaccination centre up and running in such a short space of time and I would like to say a big thank you to Harlequins for making their rugby ground available and for giving the NHS such fantastic support.
“The coronavirus vaccines are safe and effective, and I would encourage anyone who is invited for a vaccination to take up the offer – the NHS will let you know when it is your turn so don’t contact the NHS for a jab before then.
“While local vaccination numbers are on the up, we know there is lots more to do to ensure as many people as possible are protected against this virus and please remember that regardless of whether you have had a jab or not, it is vital to continue following social distancing and government advice.”
