The facility is being managed by Safecare Network and will eventually see a team of vaccinators administer up to 1,000 jabs a day, as North Lincolnshire bolsters its fight against the pandemic.
The vaccination, which is free, will be offered to those who live within a 45-minute drive of The Baths Hall, so people from Gainsborough and surrounding areas will be book appointments, and will be in the priority order as identified by the Joint Committee for Vaccinations and Immunisations (JCVI).
Dr Satpal Shekhawat, medical director at NHS North Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “This is brilliant news for North Lincolnshire, and comes following weeks of hard work, planning and strong partnership working with colleagues from across the area.
