A new Covid-19 vaccination centre has opened at the Liberty Shopping Centre in Romford. 

North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT) has set up the hub in the former Sports Direct unit, near Waterstones. 

It is expected to provide thousands of vaccinations every week with visits estimated to take around 20 minutes per person. 

The hub will be open from 8am until 8pm, seven days a week, and attendance will be by appointment only. 

“Getting the Romford vaccination centre up and running in a matter of weeks is true testament and reflection of how dedicated and passionate staff at NELFT truly are,” said Jacqui Van Rossum, NELFT’s executive director for integrated care. 

“Everyone has gone above and beyond in playing their part, and we are incredibly proud to be doing our bit to protect people from the virus within the communities we serve.”

The centre has been equipped with vaccination pods and all the required facilities. It has been designed to keep people safe through social distancing and a one-way system. 

Caroline O’Donnell, NELFT’s recovery director, has been in charge of getting the hub up and running. 

She said: “It has been a privilege to be involved in leading NELFT’s vaccination programme and I would like to thank the whole team involved in the preparation including all those who have volunteered to support the programme and our partners in our communities.

“We look forward to supporting the vaccination programme alongside our local GPs and community pharmacies to make vaccinations as accessible to our communities as possible”.

Residents will be contacted and asked to attend based on the Government’s priority list which can be checked here
