Covid Vaccination Volunteering

The NHS desperately needs volunteers to support the national vaccination programme If you can spare a few hours, your local vaccination centre needs stewards, check-in, vaccine admin personnel.

Even if you can only commit to one session, it would still make a difference. Please check the links below to find an opportunity near you.

Current Government Advice

In line with the UK Government’s guidelines if anyone is feeling unwell with a cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing or fever please do not offer your services until you are out of the self-isolating stage

The advice for anyone in any setting, including volunteers, is to follow these main guidelines.

1. The most common symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are recent onset of a new continuous cough and/or high temperature. If you have these symptoms, however mild, stay at home and do not leave your house for 7 days from when your symptoms started. You do not need to call NHS 111 to go into self-isolation. If your symptoms worsen during home isolation or are no better after 7 days, contact NHS 111 online. If you have no internet access, you should call NHS 111. For a medical emergency dial 999.
2. Wash your hands more often than usual, for 20 seconds using soap and hot water, particularly after coughing, sneezing and blowing your nose, or after being in public areas where other people are doing so. Use hand sanitiser if that’s all you have access to.
3. To reduce the spread of germs when you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue, or your sleeve (not your hands) if you don’t have a tissue, and throw the tissue away immediately. Then wash your hands or use a hand sanitising gel.
4. Clean and disinfect regularly touched objects and surfaces using your regular cleaning products to reduce the risk of passing the infection on to other people.

If you feel you are showing symptoms of Covid-19, please use the 111 online coronavirus service
