People across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight are being urged to get their COVID-19 booster ahead of Christmas, with the Riverside Centre set to stop vaccinations from this Saturday.
Solent NHS Trust continues to run a number of walk-in pop-up clinics at locations across the region for those eligible for autumn booster vaccinations, 1st and 2nd doses for ages 12+ and 1st boosters. For more information about eligibility visit https://www.nhs.uk/…/how-to…/how-to-get-a-booster-dose/.
Solent’s involvement in the COVID vaccination programme will conclude on Thursday 8th December 2022 with community pharmacies and GP services continuing to offer vaccinations across the county and on the Island after this date.
The final day for the Riverside Centre in Newport is on Saturday 3th December.
Angela Anderson, Clinical Director for the Solent Vaccination Programme, has said:
“It has been a privilege to have been the lead provider of mass vaccination centres and pop-up clinics across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight over the last two years. We are proud to have delivered over 836,000 vaccinations as part of the wider programme and cannot thank our staff, volunteers and partner agencies enough for their support.
“I’d urge people to come forward and get their COVID-19 vaccination ahead of the busy festive period to help protect you and your loved ones – we have walk-in capacity at many of our pop-up clinics and our experienced and friendly staff will be on hand should you have any questions.”

Dr Matt Nisbet, GP and clinical lead for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight COVID Vaccination Programme, adds:
“The tireless efforts by Solent NHS Trust’s vaccine team and the countless volunteers who have gone above and beyond to ensure our local communities could quickly and safely access their vaccinations cannot be underestimated. I would like to express my thanks, both personally and on behalf of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care System for all the team have done to help keep people safe.
“While these clinics will no longer be offering vaccinations, there will remain sites for people yet to get vaccinated and I would urge everyone eligible to come forward as soon as possible.”
Appointments for community pharmacies and other locations can be booked (for any age or dose required) using the National Booking Service on www.nhs.uk/covidvaccination.

Ummmmmm no thanks, it’s only flu
You are correct it is a strain of flu; however, Flu kills thousands and Covid is as you put it is” only flu “, thanks to the Covid vaccine the world is opening up as the vaccine has reduced the effects of Covid.
However just like Flu, Covid is a killer and has and will kill, you have a choice, you are also entitled to your opinion, I hope you do not suffer from Covid in the future and do not end up hospitalised, many unfortunates will suffer badly and may loose their lives.
Only time will prove if the vaccine has any serious side effects, but many are alive thanks to the same. I wish you well, but please keep an open mind and do not pass on a comment that could cost lives through ignorance.
the flu jab and covid jabs do not prevent you getting the flu or covid. They are at best a symptom suppression tool and nothing more.
Unless you feel that you really need to take these things, then I wouldn’t bother
I clearly stated, ” The vaccine has reduced the effects of Covid “. Not ever did I state that it prevents Covid.
You would not bother, and that is your choice, as you have made clear in previous posts. It is up to individuals to make their own mind up; I fail to see why you chose to comment in reply.
Some people could have their lives saved by taking this vaccine because of their health circumstances, I made comment because of a post stating ” it’s only Flu! A form of suppression could be the difference between life and death to many people is less than perfect health. Be it Flu or Covid.
the vaccine hasn’t been proven to reduce the effects of covid, as there is no way of determining if those individuals who took that jab, would still have only had the same symptoms without it.
Why risk early death by stroke or heart attack caused by this non vaccines they are experimental gene therapy causing more deaths every day
Very true.
In a local oap home today three residents developed nose bleeds for no apparent reason. All had been vaxed.
A huge coincidence imo.
They will bring on various conditions like
Non Hodgkins Lymphoma etc.
Ummmmm no thanks, I don’t want cancer or a heart attack
People are mysteriously dropping like flies and this is a good idea?
Children are dying A&E are at breaking point with poorly children who have their jabs and adults also no thanks. Pure poison.
So true, these vaccines are Unsafe, by now most Doctors know this.
Sir Christopher Chope Conservative MP knows how dangerous they are.
I’ve had my first jabs last time around and have noticed a lot of people who are having heart problems for the first time, including myself.
SO, IT IS A BIG NO FROM ME.
Time to let nature take it’s course.
Its what us sane people already knew !! Research isnt illegle
ahh yes..roll up roll up government want too make more money before xmas.
Halar.98.5%recovery rate lol
Flue kills same people as always did
And MOST WON’T EVER NEED A HOSPITAL FOR COVID FGS
The Pfizer boss won’t have one himself, says it all!
Oh dear I see the conspiracy theorists haven’t been taking their medication again.
And there are some still brainwashed sheep still believing the bs
Sadly so many idiots do not watch real news.
They need to watch GB News, not state controlled BBC
To be honest, i was with you guys, but, after watching East Enders and ‘Sonnya’s’ SPEACH on prime time fictional tv drama made by the BBC with our money……stating facts that have yet to be proven, i have switched sides….something stinks….and it’s not my smeg.
It would appear someone or a number of people are using an an automatic voting bot in order to vote on comments.
I too am aware that this is happening and there are one or two individuals who this seems to revolve around.
I now await a torrent of negative votes!
Don’t you have a gore thread on /b/ to rub one out to?
As Roger Daltrey once sang, ‘Wont get fooled again’
10 jabs too freedom
I have too say from some of the sane comments against on here from what would have been previously brainwashed sheep….WELL DONE FOR FINALLY WAKING UP! The side affects were ALWAYS out there if you bothered too look and now its ALL finally coming out
Your welcome blossem……….x
Read the Pfizer report, then run like ****
Hmmmm why don’t you report on illness brought about by the vaccination? You have a responsibility to report unbiased facts dont you?
