Residents in East Sussex who have no means of getting to their Covid-19 vaccination appointment can contact the local Clinical Commissioning Group for help.
NHS East Sussex CCG has organised a travel coordinator as a point of contact for those who are struggling to get to GPs or vaccination centres.
It said people can call 07871 603 235 between 10am-1pm and 2pm-5pm between Monday and Friday to organise a free return journey.
According to Rother Voluntary Action (RVA) group, the appointment for the vaccination should be booked ahead of contacting the travel coordinator.
Callers will be asked about whether they have access to transport or a family member, friend or carer who can help with transport.
They do not have to be in your bubble as per government guidelines.
