Chelmsford City Racecourse in the Braintree district will open as a mass coronavirus vaccination centre this week
A MASS coronavirus vaccination centre is opening in the Braintree district this week, NHS bosses have confirmed.
Chelmsford City Racecourse, in Great Leighs, is one of six mass vaccines centres opening in the east from today.
Each centre can vaccine hundreds of people a day and thousands each week.
This will enable the vaccination programme to expand as further vaccine supplies become available.
The six new centres are among a series opening nationally this week as the NHS accelerates the number of sites which can distribute the first dose of the jab.
