YOU can grab a jab at Grimsby’s Freshney Place shopping centre between today and Christmas Eve.
A walk-in Covid vaccination unit opened in the centre at 10am today and will be offering jabs every day between now and Christmas Eve.
It is offering Pfizer and Moderna first and second vaccines for people aged 16-plus, and boosters for those over 18 who are eligible.
Drugs4Delivery staff are manning the unit between 10am and 6.30pm today, tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday and from 9am to 3pm on Christmas Eve.
The unit is next to HMV, just behind the centre’s Customer Services desk.
The last vaccines will be administered at 6.30pm and 3pm sharp - people must turn up in good time, taking account that there may be queues.
As of last week, there was still 18 per cent of the adult population in North East Lincolnshire who had not had a first dose of the vaccine, with 24 per cent not having had the second.
Supporting the jab drive by providing the Freshney Place unit, the shopping centre’s director Amanda Austin, said: "It is incredibly important that everyone has access to these vaccinations, so we are more than happy to be supporting this vital service.
"As cases of Covid continue to rise we are asking all our visitors to follow the government’s guidance and ensure they wear a face covering and keep a safe distance from others when shopping."
Following the five-days’ use as a vaccination walk-in, the unit will remain open as testing centre with lateral flow tests also being distributed from there.
Other walk-in vaccination centres in North East Lincolnshire this week are listed below, but please be aware times and dates of walk-ins are subject to change.
