Vaccination sites across Berkshire are continuing to jab all adults as Prime Minister Boris Johnson bids for all over 18s to be boosted by the end of the year.
Walk-in sites are available across the county between now and January 2 for anybody who is wishing to have their first, second or booster Covid vaccination.
Boris Johnson has urged the public to enjoy New Year celebrations in a “cautious and sensible way” as he continued to drive forward the Covid-19 vaccination programme.
The Prime Minister encouraged people to book booster jabs or first and second doses as he said the vast majority of people in intensive care have not had a booster.
Mr Johnson said “I cannot stress too much” how important it is to get a booster jab to be able to enjoy the New Year “sensibly and cautiously”.

He said there were 2.4 million eligible double-jabbed people who were yet to take up the offer of a booster, adding: “I’m sorry to say this but the overwhelming majority of people who are currently ending up in intensive care in our hospitals are people who are not boosted.
For residents living in Reading and Bracknell, the nearest walk-in vaccine sites are the ones listed below.
