VACCINATIONS are going on the move to make it more convenient for people to get their covid jab.
Berkshire West Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is co-ordinating visits across Wokingham, Reading and West Berkshire boroughs.
Anyone is welcome to visit the specially adapted vaccination van, and they don’t need to be registered with a GP.
Healthcare professionals and wellbeing teams will be on board the Health on the Move van to answer Covid questions and offer the vaccination.
Details of where the van will be visiting will be published over the next few days.

Wokingham residents are asked to keep an eye on social media and website updates to find out when it will be in their area.
Katie Summers, director of partnerships for the CCG, said: “We know that for some people it’s not easy to get to a vaccination centre which is why we’re bringing the van closer to you.
“And we know some people still have concerns about the safety of the vaccine so we’ve got local, trusted medical professionals on hand to help, answer questions and deal with any concerns that are making people feel anxious.
“We’re working in partnership with our voluntary and community sector and faith leaders to build vaccine confidence and focus on ensuring everyone is protected and no one gets left behind in the vaccine roll out,” she added.
“Please pay us a visit because the quicker we all get jabbed the quicker we can all get back to doing things that we’ve missed so much.”
