Homeless people were given a dose of a Covid-19 vaccine at YMCA Romford.
Residents and staff at the charity s site in Rush Green Road were given the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine by a team from Fullwell Cross Medical Centre in Barkingside.
A charity spokesperson said the vaccinations came after Bridget Quinlan, support worker for projects and programmes at the YMCA, worked with the Partnership of East London Co-operatives (PELC).
This organisation, which was originally formed by GPs to provide out-of-hours GP services, has been providing support to people during the pandemic.
