COVID-19 vaccination foam sign

Foamboard sign "Can I catch COVID-19 from my 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. This sign reassures people that they would not catch COVID-19 from a vaccine dose and pointed them to a leaflet with more information.

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.
