Exeter COVID-19 Vaccination Centre
The Royal Devon’s Exeter vaccination centre has moved from its current location at Greendale Business Park to a smaller unit at Greendale Farm Shop, EX5 2JU.
From Monday 3 April, the team will be focusing on delivering the spring programme to care home residents, however it will be possible to get first and second doses on 13 April, 9am-5pm.
The spring booster programme starts on Monday 17 April and appointments can now be booked via the National Booking System or by calling 119.
Following advice from the Joint Committee of Vaccination and Immunisation the spring campaign aims to protect the most vulnerable, including over 75s, those with a weakened immune system and older adult care home residents. Those living in care homes are already being vaccinated by NHS teams visiting homes to offer protection.
Others eligible can now book an appointment via the National Booking Service or NHS App for the first appointments available week beginning Monday 17 April. Text messages and letters will also be sent to those without the app or not actively using it.
We encourage everyone to book an appointment as walk in appointments may not be available at our centre. If you do need to find a walk-in vaccination centre you can search for your closest walk-in centre here.
As well as our vaccination centres in Exeter, North Devon, and Plymouth we’ll also be running a programme of outreach clinics so as many people as possible can access their vaccinations.
More information about what to expect when you arrive at the centre is available in the tabs below.
