When and where will you get your Covid jab in the East of England?

There are dozens of vaccinations centres across the East of England delivering the biggest healthcare programme in NHS history as the coronavirus injections are given to millions of people in the region.

More centres are opening all the time although people are being called to book tests in a priority order.

People can get a test when they receive a letter which explains how they can book a slot over the phone or online through the national booking system.

The Government aim was to vaccinate 13.9 million of the country's most at-risk people by the middle of February.

When you will be contacted and offered a jab will depend on which band you are placed in based on age and health.

At present the priority list breaks down like this:

  • Residents in a care home for older adults and their carers - 800,000 people

  • All those 80 years of age and over and frontline health and social care workers - 5.7 million people

  • All those 75 years of age and over - 2.3 million people

  • All those 70 years of age and over and people deemed to be clinically extremely vulnerable - 4.4 million people

  • All those 65 years of age and over - 2.9 million people

  • All individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality - 7.3 million people

  • All those 60 years of age and over - 1.8 million people

  • All those 55 years of age and over - 2.4 million people

  • All those 50 years of age and over - 2.6 million people

  • The rest of the population, with priority yet to be determined - 21 million people

It is expected to be much later in the summer or autumn before young, healthy people receive a Covid shot.
