The clinic site, at Middleton Health Centre in Middleton Shopping Centre, will administer Covid-19 vaccinations to eligible residents as part of the biggest vaccination programme in NHS history.
Local people in the nationally defined priority groups, starting with patients aged 80 and over as well as people who work in care homes and health care workers will be invited to attend for their vaccination appointment at the centre, which will operate every day between 8am and 6pm when vaccinations are taking place.
The vaccination programme is being run by groups of GPs with the support of the council and NHS Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale Clinical Commissioning Group.

People in Rochdale have had their coronavirus jab appointments rescheduled this week due to a delay in the delivery of the vaccine.
Residents over 80 years of age, and health and care workers are currently being invited for immunisation at one of the borough’s three vaccination hubs at Number One Riverside, Heywood Phoenix Centre and Middleton Health Centre.
To date more than 3,000 first doses have been administered in the borough.
However, supply problems have meant a number of appointments scheduled for this week have had to be rearranged.
