COVID-19 Post-vaccination Stickers signed by volunteers

Decorated sheet originally used for 'I've had my COVID-19 vaccination" stickers, stuck to a Pfizer/BioNTech patient leaflet, signed by members of staff and volunteers and displayed in the break out space at the Science Museum NHS COVID-19 vaccination centre, 2021

After a person's COVID-19 vaccination they were offered a sticker. These stickers acted as a way of showing support for the vaccine roll-out and to encourage others to talk about and have their own doses. After one sheet was completed, volunteers and staff decorated it with their names. People working at the vaccination centre may never have met before and may have only worked togher for one shift as people were sent to where they were most needed.

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.
