We helped at East Oxford Health Centre and The Leys Health Centre vaccination clinics, getting 100s of people their COVID boosterjabs before Christmas.

Five Goodgymers volunteered at the Leys Health Centre as they provided a walk in clinic for Covid vaccinations.

Roles covered included clinical administration, queue management, Carl park marshalling and, crucially, tea and biscuit provision.

3 goodgymers saw in the final mass vaccination shift at the Leys Health Centre on Saturday morning.

Starting runs at 7AM it was already a very sweaty affair by the time we were set to begin our shift! There was a great spirit in the air as, despite it being a Saturday, the staff were looking forward to a well overdue break and there was a sense of achievement at the huggggge efforts put in by all since the start of the year in getting as many people vaccinated as possible.

As with it being the final push, the day was not going to be simple. Over the 6 hr shift there were both Pfizer and AstraZeneca clinics running, with some patients even coming for mixed doses!! Stickers were used to help assign the right jab to the right patient, and those needing to wait were given an extra sticker with their leave time - despite the chaos, everything ran rather smoothly. (With only a 30min delay on the end time!)

After a quick briefing and some great group pictures, we were assigned our roles and set to work. Ben was on back door duty, making sure people who entered the Health Centre also found their way back out, and into the sunshine, Ruth was busy tag teaming up with a vaccinator and providing very efficient clinical administration skills, and Alice upped her step count on tea, coffee and general 'runner' duties.

During the shift (other) Ruth was seen to be collecting her second vaccination, and we even were graced with the presence of Lord Mayor Mark, and all of his bling!

At the end of the day, there was obligatory domino’s pizza consumption, and as it was the final shift, the Centre had very kindly provided all volunteers with a gift as a token of their appreciation for all of our help! We will definitely enjoy a brew in them soon , once the weather cools down a little! Thank you!

Congratulations to all the volunteers and Staff at the Leys for the monumental effort; it's been a pleasure working alongside you all, and we most likely see you in the winter for some top-up clinics!!

Mark and I spent the morning helping at The Leys Health Centre coronavirus vaccine clinic. Almost all the vaccines administered today were 2nd doses of Astrazeneca.

5 GoodGymers helped woosh people through an accelerated Covid vaccine clinic today. Props to Mark for the snazzy new “Move with Mayor Mark” Tshirt.

5 good-gymers ^^ leant a helping hand at The Leys Health Centre for a day of Pfizer clinics.

The clinic ran without a hitch as most patients were coming for their second dose so knew what to do, and where to stand!

Mark spent the morning swapping politics for volunteering, and after lunch, Alice spent her first shift on Tea and Coffee duty while Josh was manning the stairs.

Extra shout out to Anwen who did her first shift as a Clinical Administrator this afternoon; while daunting to begin with, powered by biscuits and a stream of patients keeping her on her toes, she was flying by the end of the day!

All patients turned up for their jabs, and there was a little spare at the end of the day for some new recruits to get their first jab too!
