A new large scale Covid vaccination centre has opened up in a west Norfolk town hall.
Downham Market Town Hall, on Bridge Street, is now providing Covid-19 vaccinations to people in the area after the NHS launched the site on Monday, March 15.
The centre provides an additional option to the mass vaccination centres already delivering vaccines in King’s Lynn, Norwich, Attleborough, North Walsham and Lowestoft, and the hubs delivering vaccinations in local hospitals and GP surgeries.

QEH chief executive Caroline Shaw said: âWeâre delighted to be launching an additional vaccination centre in Downham Market, in full co- operation with Downham Market Town Council, which will increase access to the lifesaving COVID-19 vaccination for our local community.â
âIt joins a number of centres already providing vaccines across Norfolk and Waveney, including our centre at QEH which has now administered over 20,000 vaccinations.

- Credit: Caring Together Carers are always very grateful because it takes all the hassle out of it. The taxi will wait for them, for example, while they are getting their jab. People who look after family or friends have a lot to deal with, so we are really conscious of how much those little things matter. It is one less thing on the list for them to think about.
On Caring Together s part in the Call to Carers campaign, Mr Barber added: We ve had a steady stream of people getting in touch in the last week, and we expect more and more over time.
