New Vaccination Centre Opened In Southampton
Pfizer, BioNTech and AstraZeneca are just a few of the companies who have been helping combat the COVID-19 outbreak through the creation of ground-breaking vaccines. Individuals across the globe are being invited to vaccination centres but what is happening in Hampshire?
Currently, there are thirty two NHS vaccination sites situated around Southampton, all run by the Solent NHS Trust. Last month, the latest vaccination centre was opened down Oakley Road. This vaccination centre will be Southampton’s ‘vaccination hub’ and it’s not located where you might expect.
Southampton’s newest vaccination centre opened its doors last week at the Southampton Clinical Commissioning Group’s offices down Oakley Road. This hub has the capacity to provide up to 1,000 vaccinations daily. John Sansone, 76, was the first local to be vaccinated here.
