Due to the forecast high temperatures on Monday, July 18 and Tuesday, July 19 all Oxford Health COVID-19 vaccination centres in Aylesbury, Oxford and Reading will be closed.

Anyone with an appointment affected by the closures will receive communication shortly inviting them to rebook.

Joanna Crawley, Senior Clinical Lead for COVID-19 vaccination, said: “In the interests of safety for all those who would have been coming for a vaccination or to work the centres will be closed on Monday and Tuesday.

“We apologise to anyone who will be inconvenienced by the closures and know that people understand the reasons. Anyone who has an appointment affected by the closure will be contacted.

You can check the status of your appointment via the National Booking Service and also rebook appointments if required. You can also email nhscovidvaccine@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk with your NHS number or appointment reference number to query your booking or to rebook.”
