25.01.2022 Covid 19 vaccinations will start being rolled out to people in Phase 1B in the coming weeks through selected general practice clinics and hospital hubs. Unfortunately the Equinox does not have the capacity to take this task on at this time. To find participating clinics near you please use the service finder below. Please also note that these clinics won't be able to accept bookings until they have vaccines on site.

If you have joined our waitlist and found the support you need at another clinic, please let us know so that we can remove you and gain an accurate picture of how many people are still seeking access.
