Thousands of people aged 75 and over and those who are clinically extremely vulnerable will be invited to book a coronavirus vaccination at the venue in the upcoming weeks.

It is hoped that the most vulnerable people will receive their vaccine by the middle of next month.

Dr Arif Rajpura, Director of Public Health and Wellbeing for Blackpool, said: “I am delighted the vaccination programme is gathering pace and the council can support by putting our venues to good use.

“There is light at the end of the tunnel through this vaccination programme. If you are invited to get vaccinated, please do make an appointment and attend. The more people we get vaccinated, the faster we can all get back to some kind of normality.

It is important to remember that, even when vaccinated, it takes three weeks for that vaccination to become effective.

Invitations to attend the new centre are being issued to people aged 75 or over or those clinically extremely vulnerable who are not listed as having been vaccinated at a hospital or GP service.
