Get your Covid-19 vaccination on campus this week
The University is making it easier than ever to receive your Covid-19 vaccination. We have walk in vaccination centres open on our Luton and Bedford campuses, so you can get vaccinated during lunch, between meetings or even with your team.
We are encouraging all our staff and students to get vaccinated as it remains the best way to protect yourself and others from Covid-19.
Getting a vaccination at one of our walk in sites is easy, you don’t need to be registered with a GP or have booked a prior appointment, all you need is your NHS number.
If you would prefer to book an appointment you can, but it isn’t required. To book a vaccine appointment you can use the University's booking service.

We know that some colleagues may feel nervous about getting vaccinated, so our sites have vaccine ‘reassurers’ on hand to provide support and advice to anyone receiving their vaccine. Additionally, if you feel like you require additional support, you can find a colleague and head to one of the vaccination sites to get your vaccinations together. Water and biscuits will also be on hand for anyone that may be feeling unwell after their vaccination.
Vaccination centre locations
Luton – Vaccinations will take place on the ground floor at the Campus Centre, in the space near to Careers and Innovations & Enterprise.
Bedford – Vaccinations will take place on the ground floor at the Campus Centre, outside of the theatre.
Each vaccination station will have three tables set out with three chairs, and approximately 30 chairs to provide a ‘waiting area’. Once you have received your vaccine you may be asked to wait for 15 minutes before leaving, so that medical staff can monitor any potential side effects.
