Booking coronavirus tests for over 70s

On the 3 February, NHS England (London region) announced changes to the way in which Londoners over the age of 70 can access their COVID vaccination.

The change has been made to ensure anyone over the age of 70 can get their first COVID vaccination as soon as possible.    

Any London resident over the age of 70 who has not yet had their first COVID vaccination can now book online, call 119 or contact your GP practice directly (you no longer need a letter.) Alternatively, the national service allows you to book an appointment at a vaccination centre or community pharmacy. 

The prioritisation process has not changed; if you are not in the top 4 priority groups, you cannot get a vaccination yet.
