A medical centre in Crawley hosted a 24 hour Covid vaccination clinic over the weekend. 

Saxonbrook Medical Centre in Maidenbower ran the clinic which was the booster programme’s first 24 hour vaccination clinic in the South East. The clinic ran from early Friday through to Saturday and surpassed its target of 1,000 appointments.  Over 1,600 vaccinations were given by six vaccinators over 30 hours. 

The initiative was to provide equal access to help shift workers to attend and those who have family commitments during the day.

Saxonbrook is one of eight vaccination centres run by local GP Federation, Alliance for Better Care, who have now administered more than 600,000 vaccination doses.
