The sites are not open all day, every day and certain jabs — first, second or boosters — may only be available at certain times on certain days, so it's important to check at which clinics you can be seen without an appointment.

Many areas reported queues at drop-in clinics around the country on Monday (December 13) following the Prime Minster's address urging the nation to get jabbed to avoid a surge of Omicron variant cases, which could overhwelm the NHS.
Evidence so far suggests that Omicron may be more infectious than previous variants and that existing vaccines may be less effective at stopping it
However, early studies suggest that an extra dose of vaccine can prevent around 75 percent of people getting any Covid symptoms.
