Due to the adverse weather conditions, the large scale Covid-19 vaccination centre at the North Walsham Community Centre on New Road will temporarily close today.

The safety of the largely elderly and vulnerable people coming along to this rural vaccination centre (from 12 noon today) is our highest priority and because of the snow and ice it simply isn’t safe to open the Centre. 

We know this will be a disappointment to those with booked appointments and we sincerely apologise.  Where people have provided contact details we are contacting them directly this morning to confirm these cancellations and ensure they know how to rebook the appointments via the National Booking System, using the ‘manage you appointment’ option at: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/

We will re-open the centre as soon as it is safe to do so and will share further information via the media and NHS social media channels in due course.

Large scale vaccination centres at Castle Quarter Norwich; the Corn Exchange King's Lynn; Connaught Hall Attleborough; and Horsefair Shopping Centre in Wisbech will continue to deliver vaccinations to those with booked appointments at these sites. 

For those residents visiting the vaccination centres that remain open in Norwich, King's Lynn, Attleborough and Wisbech, please plan your journey carefully and wrap up warmly.  Please don’t take unnecessary risks.  If you are not able to attend, don’t worry, you will be able to rebook for another date using the same process you booked for your initial appointment.
