Currently, in England, more than 98% of the population is within 10 miles of a vaccine service. In a small number of highly rural areas, the vaccination centre will be a mobile unit.

Vaccination centres publish their own directions on the National Booking System and some have their own website to support visitors with further information on location and accessibility. Patients booking vaccination appointments can choose a site that meets their accessibility needs and transport requirements and will be informed of the distance of the site from the postcode they have entered. Users on the National Booking Service are able to view sites up to 60 miles from the postcode they choose to search from.
