NHS Kent and Medway CCG - Community Bulletin
It's in a little more than six months that 1,212,538 first doses (as at 1st July) and 909,492 second doses (as at 1st July) have been given to people living in Kent and Medway. It's an incredible achievement, but there is still more to do.
If you need a vaccine, there are many different ways you can grab a jab at booked and walk-in appointments across Kent and Medway; please keep checking our web page with details of clinics as more are added all the time.
We know that sometimes booking an appointment isn't most convenient for you, that's why our walk-in clinics may suit you better - be vaccinated at a time and location that is right for you.
If you have adult children aged 18 and over and they haven't yet had the vaccine, please let them know too about the walk-in clinics.
You can also now find 13 pharmacies and 10 GP-led vaccination clinics on the national booking service, with a further four GP sites due to be added soon. Anyone can use GP services listed on the national booking system; you don’t need to be registered with the practice.
A full list of vaccination sites can be found at www.kentandmedwayccg.nhs.uk/covid19vaccine

Happy birthday NHS
Saturday saw landmarks in Kent and Medway light up blue to mark the occasion and also to commemorate those we have lost to Covid-19. The clock tower in Gravesend, Brook Theatre in Chatham, Rochester Bridge and Herne Bay clock tower all went blue in support.
Update: Southern Water Wastewater Pumped Main - Otterham Quay to Poot Lane

Hi Everyone,
The weather was uncertain, but we were never uncertain about your generosity.
We knew if we turned up, you would also turn up with your bags full of hope and love. Because that's what you bring when you give your gifts of food and other necessary items - you give hope and love.
Ron and I will be collecting again at the bus stop opposite the Church in Horsham Lane on Wednesday the 4th of August between 10:30am and 11:30am.
