Don’t delay getting your COVID vaccination – slots available today up to 3pm

January 28, 2021

If you are yet to get your first dose of the COVID vaccination you can do so by contacting the booking team on 0121 507 4112 to book into an available slot at the Sandwell Education Centre. There are slots available today up to 3pm.

Please note that this is only for those colleagues who are yet to receive their first dose. Secondary doses will be available 12 weeks following the first dose.

You will be asked some simple pre – screening questions when booking your appointment which are listed below:

1. Have you had any type of COVID-19 vaccination already?
2. Are you currently unwell with a fever?
3. Have you ever had a significant allergic reaction to a vaccine, medicine or food (such as previous history of anaphylactoid reaction or those who have been advised to carry an adrenaline auto-injector)?
4. Are you pregnant or planning to be pregnant within the next 2 months?
5. Have you had any other vaccinations in the last 7 days, particularly the flu vaccination
6. Have you had a COVID positive test within the past 28 days?
7. Do you have a bleeding disorder e.g. haemophilia?

If you answer YES to any questions you may require a more in depth consultation which will determine if we are able to offer you the Pfizer vaccine.

You may be advised to contact Occupational Health Department or your GP for further advice.
