16 walk-in Covid vaccine sites across the North East as booster jabs rolled out to people aged 30 and over

From Monday, December 13, the national booking system will open to everyone aged between 30-39 to book their Covid-19 booster jab appointment.

All eligible adults can book their booster two months on from their second dose – a month in advance of becoming eligible to receive it.

NHS England estimates that a further 3.5 million people will become eligible to book a booster appointment from Monday.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid has urged the public to come forward and get booked in.

He said: “This is our national mission - the most recent data shows boosters are the essential defence against Omicron and we are doing everything in our power to get jabs into arms as quickly as possible.

"We are now expanding the offer to over-30s – so please come forward as quickly as possible to get boosted and help our country get ahead in this race with the variant.”

As well as using the booking system to make Covid jab appointments, a number of walk-in vaccine centres are in operation across the North East.

At time of writing, you can currently attend a walk-in vaccination centre for your booster if it's been three months (91 days) since your second dose and you're either aged 40+, or 16+ with a health condition that puts you at high risk.

Most people can also receive their first or second Covid jab dose at a walk-in site.
