Walk-in booster jabs extended at Great Yorkshire Showground
Over-18s can get one there for the rest of the week.
Walk-in Covid booster jabs are now available for all over-18s at Harrogate’s Great Yorkshire Showground for the rest of the week.
It's been extended - after the site re-opened earlier this week to offer some walk-in jabs.
Anyone attending must have had their second jab more than three months ago.
No appointments are needed for the Covid vaccines at the Yorkshire Events Centre site.
This gap between vaccines was originally six months but has been reduced after advice from the government’s scientific advisers and in response to the new Omicron variant.
The showground was used as a vaccine site earlier in the year and has set an aim of delivering 20,000 jabs before it had planned to close on 22 December.
However, it now looks set to stay open for longer as part of the boosters push.
Heather Parry, managing director of the Yorkshire Event Centre, said talks are being held with the NHS and that it was now “finalising details” for an extension of the site into the New Year.
Meanwhile, appointment-based vaccines are still available to book online through the NHS booking service.
