A MASS vaccination centre in Ealing opens today (2) as part of the fight against COVID-19.

Staff from West London NHS Trust will be vaccinating people in priority groups, along with health and care staff. It is the tenth mass vaccination centre to open in London.

The team at CP House on the Uxbridge Road will be offering thousands of vaccinations a week.

People in priority groups 1-4 who live within a 45-minute travel radius of the centre will receive an invite letter and can book in either by phone or online through the national booking system.

Stephanie Bridger, Director of Nursing & Patient Experience at the trust, said: “Our teams are based and work in the local community, caring for people across West London every day, so we’re really proud to be here as part of the fight against Covid-19.

“Our team has worked round the clock to make sure the centre is ready to start vaccinating local people in priority groups, as well as health and social care staff."                                      

Councillor Julian Bell, leader of Ealing Council said: “I urge all residents to accept the vaccine when their time comes to be invited and I am certainly looking forward to my turn.”
