Pop up vaccinations sites are coming to Luton and Bedford Campus
We are setting up Covid vaccinations sites at our Luton and Bedford campuses at the start of the new academic year 2021/22.
We encourage all of our staff and students to get vaccinated, as it remains the best way to protect yourself and each other from Covid-19. To help make getting vaccinated easier, we are providing walk-in vaccinations on campus. To receive a vaccination at one of our vaccination sites you don't need to be registered with a GP or have booked a prior appointment but you should have your NHS number on hand.
Our vaccination sites will have vaccine 'reassurers' on-site to provide support, advice and reassurance to any students or staff that are receiving their vaccine. With water and biscuits on hand for anyone that may be feeling unwell after their vaccination.
Dates and times
To provide the best opportunity for new and returning students to get involved, vaccinations will be available during Welcome weekend and induction week as well as the first week of term:

Vaccination centre Locations
Luton - Fitzroy (CLV) common room during Welcome weekend and on the ground floor at the Campus Centre – in the space near to Careers and Innovations & Enterprise – for all other dates.
Bedford - vaccinations will take place on the ground floor at the Campus Centre, outside of the theatre on all dates including Welcome weekend.
Each vaccination station will have 3 tables set out with 3 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.
