Pharmacist and clinical lead Michael Ball has been overseeing the vaccination centre at the rugby club since February and the centre has helped vaccinate thousands of people across Preston and the wider area.

The clinic has advised that anyone with allergies that might cause an adverse reaction to the jab should not attend today's drop-in service.
