Vaccine bus

No appointment needed! Pop-up vaccination clinics are once again back and travelling across Blackpool and the Fylde coast for eligible over 18s.

Just call in to the vaccine bus or the NHS unit at South Car Park to get a COVID-19 or flu vaccine - no booking required. Opening times and locations are listed below. 

The aim is to deliver easy to access mobile vaccination clinics, direct to our local people in the community. If you have a friend, relative or neighbour without regular internet access, please share this information with them. 

In line with NHS guidance, anyone who attends these clinics can receive both the COVID-19 booster and flu vaccine during their visit (eligibility applies - see below).
