Six more vaccination centres are coming to Lincolnshire in addition to an initial list of 16 published this week, local council leaders claim.

East Lindsey District Council leader Craig Leyland said:

“We are assured by the NHS that a further five vaccination sites will go live week commencing January 11 across Lincolnshire, including sites that will serve our coastal communities.”

Lord Gary Porter, leader of South Holland District Council, has also suggested that vaccines could be administered from Springfield’s Shopping Centre in Spalding.

He tweeted that an “unconfirmed (but trusted) source” said the rollout from the Camel Gate outlet mall would start from January 16.

Here's a list of the previously announced community vaccination hubs across the whole of Lincolnshire - published by the NHS

The government said that hundreds of new sites will be coming next week as part of their plans to give 13 million of the UK’s most vulnerable the jab by mid-February, but hasn’t said where they will be.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he wanted every resident to have a vaccination hub within 10 miles by January 15.

Health bosses in Lincolnshire are pushing the “stay at home” message of the lockdown during the vaccine rollout, as Lincolnshire’s infection rates “hang in the balance”.

The rate has been consistently between 250-300 per 100,000 people over the past two weeks and bosses say it could go either way in the near future, depending how people behave.
