Free Transport to COVID-19 Vaccination Appointments for those who need it

Sussex Health & Care Partnership have recently announced that Sussex residents who have no means to get to their COVID-19 vaccination appointment are now able to book a free return journey to help them attend.

To book free travel please book your vaccination appointment first and then call one of the following numbers to speak to a travel coordinator:

· 01444 275 008 for West Sussex residents

· 07871 603 235 for East Sussex residents

The booking service is available between 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

Once you are through to a travel coordinator you will be asked the following questions:

· Do you have access to transport to attend your vaccine appointment?

· Do you have a family member, friend or carer who can help with transport? They do not have to be in your bubble as per government guidelines.

If both of these options are not available the travel coordinator will arrange transport for you, including any additional needs such as wheelchair-friendly vehicles.

All transport providers have signed up to a COVID-19 safety policy to ensure that all precautions are in place for a safe journey.
