Anyone aged 18 and over can get their first Pfizer jab in Kingston today (Friday 18 June) as part of a mass vaccination event at Kingston University.

The vaccinations will be available at the University's Penrhyn Road campus from 1-7pm.

No appointment is needed and anyone aged 18+ is eligible to come and get their jab - you don't have to live in or be a student at Kingston.

The event is being run by local GPs and the NHS, Kingston Council and Kingston University.

Kingston Council said it is "encouraging as many people as possible to roll up their sleeves and take up this fantastic opportunity, so we can all look forward to a bright, sunny and safe summer!
