SOUTHAMPTON residents can get a booster jab at a walk-in clinic today.

Walk-in vaccinations are taking place at St Peter's Surgery in Portsmouth Road.

People will be able to get their first, second or booster dose for covid-19.

There is no need to book or take paperwork.

Speaking after receiving his jab, he said: "Getting my booster jab was so slick and I only had to queue for about two minutes, I was straight in.

Volunteer Jess Boxall said: "So far today I think we have had a couple of hundred people come, so it's been steady. 

"It makes you feel patriotic really as hundreds of people are coming in and getting the booster. It's been a really good opportunity as a volunteer too.

"The morale is quite high here and people are excited."
