Parking
Please note that access to the racecourse is via the ‘new bridge’ at the Thatcham end of Hambridge Road. It is best accessed via the A4 from the cross road traffic lights. Turn into Hambridge Road and at the roundabout go straight across over the new bridge signposted for the racecourse. Follow the signage for the Covid clinic. Disabled parking spaces will be available for those less mobile patients.
How long will I wait?
We will be working as quickly as we possibly can, being mindful of social distancing and vaccine requirements. We hope to keep queues to a minimum but please do come prepared for inclement weather.
To avoid long queues, you should aim to arrive at the building entrance no more than five minutes before your appointment time. When in the queue please maintain social distancing.
Whilst we aim to keep to schedule, we will give priority to those with a disability and invite them in on arrival (subject to capacity). This may mean a slight delay for some.
Duration
We aim to get you through the vaccination process within 10 minutes. Following this you will be required to wait in an observation area for 15 minutes.
Will I be safe?
We are following all government advice to keep our patients and ourselves safe. Staff will be wearing Personal protective equipment in line with Public Health guidance. We will be operating a one-way system through the building. Hand gel will be provided and staff will be available to provide guidance and assistance.
