Whiteboard entitled 'Sunday 5th September 2021 Pfizer Vaccine', one of five displayed at the Science Museum NHS COVID-19 vaccination centre, 2021

Each day, the number of vaccines given was recorded on boards for staff and volunteers to see while on their breaks. Seeing the numbers may have given people additional motivation to know more and more people were coming forward. By 5 September 2021, when these results were recorded, vaccines had been offered to everyone over 16 and walk-ins were also being offered. Two weeks later, young people aged 12-15 were also included.

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.
