The next three Lincoln locations for the mobile COVID-19 vaccination bus

No booking required

The next three locations in Lincoln for the mobile vaccination unit have now been revealed, including the local mosque and The Arboretum, for people to receive their first COVID-19 jab on a Saturday without needing an advanced booking.

The vaccination bus was set up in Lincoln temporarily to help with the COVID-19 vaccine rollout and started in the car park of Bridge Central on Saturday, June 19.

Over the next three weekends, it will allow for anyone who has not yet had their first dose, and is eligible to do so, to turn up and get jabbed without needing to book.

  • Saturday, July 3 – Brayford Wharf North (near the Square Sail, opposite Lucy Tower Street)

There will also be translation services available at the site, and a dedicated team will be on hand to answer any questions the public have.
