Vaccinations in the park

This summer we’re bringing vaccinations into city parks so that local people can top up their protection conveniently, without needing an appointment.

All residents and particularly pregnant women, parents of newborn babies, school aged children and older people are being urged to take the opportunity to check they’re fully up to date with all their free routine NHS vaccinations.

Travelling over the summer could expose people to viruses that are circulating in different cities and countries, by ensuring you and your family are fully up to date with all the NHS recommended vaccines you can be reassured you’re reducing the risk of becoming unwell from preventable viruses and diseases.

We’re also urging all pregnant women to get vaccinated now against RSV and whooping cough when eligible as it will protect their babies from becoming seriously unwell from respiratory illnesses when they are born, particularly in the colder winter months.

Our walk-in clinics are taking place at:

Monday 4 August – Braunstone Park, Cort Crecent, Leicester, LE3 1QN between 10am-4pm.
Wednesday 6 August – Bradgate Park, Newtown Linford, Leicester, LE6 0HE between 10am-4pm.
Tuesday 19 August – Abbey Park, Abbey Park Road, Leicester, LE4 5AQ between 12pm-6pm.
Friday 22 August – Western Park play area, Leicester, LE3 6HX between 10am-4pm. THIS CLINIC HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

If you are unsure which vaccinations you or your family are eligible for or require, please come along to the clinics and speak to our team or check your child’s red book, the NHS App, your midwife, GP practice or your your health worker.

The clinics also offer blood pressure checks to anyone over 40 years old.
