Non-urgent advice: Walk in COVID-19 vaccination
If you are eligible for a covid-19 vaccination, you can find a walk-in vaccination service on the below website:
Find a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination site - NHS (www.nhs.uk)
The service will find a site offering walk-in COVID-19 vaccination services.
You can check opening times and which age groups can use a site before visiting. Not all sites are open to children or young people under 16. Some vaccination sites can only offer COVID-19 vaccination at certain times, so patients may be asked to wait or come back later.
Someone at the site will talk to you to make sure that the vaccination is suitable.
Alternatively, patients can call the below number where the Gateway team will be able to assist with locating walk-in vaccination services:
0161-947-0770 OR 0800-092-4020

We know that there will be some people who will need help if they self-isolate, from getting groceries, to help with pets, and that's where the Spirit of Salford Network comes in. Salford is full of amazing people who want to support their community in this time of need, but it's important to make sure it is done without putting anyone at risk, and without spreading the virus.
