The borough’s third community vaccination centre has opened today (8 January) at Middleton Health Centre. 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.
