More
Staff and volunteers wore hi-vis jackets to be easily identifiable to people visiting the Science Museum for their vaccinations. Volunteers provided people with directions where to go, especially if the building was unfamiliar to them or to navigate the one-way systems in place for safety.
After weeks of careful planning and installation, the NHS COVID-19 Vaccination Centre at the Science Museum first welcomed people to receive their COVID-19 vaccine on 11 March 2021. Run by NHS staff and volunteers, the clinic delivered over 122,000 doses to people over the course of a year. People had to pre-book their appointments when invited by the NHS. When the clinic first opened, the museum was closed to visitors but reopened on 19 May 2021 for five days a week.
