Walk-in vaccinations at Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre
The current policy at Fountain Leisure Centre is as follows:There is a total maximum capacity of about 600. They have about 450 to 500 appointments per day. The maximum number of walk-ins that they will accept is the difference between 600 and the number of appointments booked for that day - so 100 or so. Once the daily figure is reached, no more walk-ins will be accepted.To be accepted as a walk-in, you need to meet one of the following criteria: Over 45 Clinically vulnerable (with some form of proof) Healthcare or care home worker (with some form of proof) Coming for your second jab, with at least 8 weeks elapsed since your first jabAnd of course you need to have an NHS number (you don't need to bring it with you, although that makes it easier to find you in the system - you just need to have one)I suspect that there won't be many people in the first three categories coming for a first jab, as they will either already be vaccinated or already have an appointment, but I offer up the information for what it's worth. This may be more useful for people wanting / needing their second jab earlier than booked - but please note the 8 week requirement.Just for information, there were only about 10 walk-ins today (Thursday).I believe that on some days the vaccination centre is being used for appointments booked via the NHS website (Mon-Thurs I believe, although I am not certain) and on other days for appointments booked via GPs (Fridays I believe - I don't know about weekends) - but I'm not certain of that. So I can't be certain on which days the policy that I have described applies - I believe it to apply in the former case but I can't guarantee that it applies in the latter case.
