Foamboard sign "Get ready for your vaccine" used at the Science Museum NHS COVID-19 vaccination centre, 2021

Displayed through the vaccination centre, particulary in queuing areas, foamboards gave information or advice to ensure doses were given as safely and as quickly as possible. This meant removing any coats and ensuring arms were accessible in the queue, if appropriate.

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.
