Bath & West to become Somerset vaccination centre
The Bath & West Showground is becoming a Covid-19 vaccination centre.
It will be one of the main centres in Somerset to roll out the vaccine.
Bosses say there will be a process of booking vaccinations announced in due course by the NHS - and it will not be open for anyone to just walk in.
Rupert Cox, CEO of the Royal Bath & West of England Society said: “This is great news for Somerset and for the Bath & West.
"It is an honour to have been selected to host this major vaccination programme for the benefit of Somerset residents and we are working with Somerset NHS Foundation Trust to make sure the logistics run as smoothly as possible.
"A successful nationwide vaccination campaign will also increase the chances of events being back up and running on the showground and provide a much-needed confidence boost to everyone within the event industry."
