A mobile coronavirus vaccination van is taking to the streets of Cornwall from today, starting with Newquay.
The NHS unit will be offering first dose Pfizer jabs to all adults, without the need for an appointment.
It will be parked at the Killacourt on Monday 5th July, before moving on to other towns and sites across the Duchy.
The mobile van is the latest initiative launched during a major vaccination drive in Cornwall, following a recent spike in coronavirus cases.
NHS Kernow's chairman Dr Paul Cook said: "Like everyone, I want to get back to doing the things we all loved doing before the pandemic struck, like going on holiday and seeing family".
He added: "Getting vaccinated not only protects you and your loved ones, but is our way out of this pandemic. Don't delay, and do it for Cornwall".
The mobile vaccination unit will be parked at the Killacourt in Newquay between 9.30am and 5.30pm on Monday.
It will be visiting other locations across Cornwall throughout the week starting 5th July.
