Yellow vaccination centre t-shirt

Yellow polo shirt with the Chelsea and Westminster logo and Proud to care logo as worn by clinical staff at the Science Museum NHS COVID-19 vaccination centre, 2021

The Science Museum's vaccination centre was under the jurisdiction of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. All staff and volunteers were expected to adhere to the Trust's values: putting patients first, responsive to patients and staff, open and honest. These form the acroymn and mnenomic 'proud.'

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.
