Would it be worth asking the learning disability nurse at your local hospital or your GP should be able to help or you could try Carers U.K. and speak to the learning disability team they have to see if they’ve heard of where they are. Or the Mencap helpline fingers crossed one of these should be able to help you.

Hi there. I am in north London. There’s no such a place specifically for autistic or learning disabilities. You need to contact social worker and learning disability nurse at your local authority and request that a learning disability to attend with your person. If your person can’t get there for any reason then you should have the reasonable adjustments where by the DL nurse can go to the home and give it. My son had it at home.

Take care.

Hello Vaxhelp please if you have not found a place northcentrallondonccg.nhs.u...

Most centres now can be accessed by just walking in without an appointment.Take someone with you to help you answer the screening questions which are normally to make sure you are "fit and well" .They will ask if you have had other vaccintions recently and if you are well.You should not attend if you are feverish because it might make you more poorly and your body cant produce antibodies to fight covid if it is also trying to fight off flu. Dont be scared the injection is just like a small pinch on the upper arm.. I hope you find somewhere or perhaps you have already been in which case well done.
