Concerns have been raised about the lack of coronavirus vaccine centres in northern parts of Suffolk.
The majority of Suffolk s existing vaccine sites are in the south of the county, causing fears about how elderly populations in more rural northern parts will be catered for.
Currently, those living in the Waveney area can be vaccinated at some GP sites including Kirkley Mill Surgery in Lowestoft and Sole Bay Health Centre in Southwold.
The community pharmacy Hayden Chemist, in Lowestoft, and the James Paget University Hospital in Gorleston are also vaccinating patients.

Waveney MP Peter Aldous has hinted two more vaccine centres will open next month in Beccles and Harleston.
Speaking at a Bungay Town Council meeting on Thursday, January 21, Mr Aldous addressed concerns from Judy Cloke at East Suffolk Council that Waveney had become a black hole for lack of vaccine centres.
Only one-third of over 80s in Suffolk have had their first dose - the lowest figure in England.
Peter Aldous highlighted there are plans to open more vaccine centres.
