This is where you can find the Covid vaccine bus in Preston each day this week
A mobile vaccine bus is visiting Preston this week with jabs available to anyone aged over 18 who meets the latest eligibility criteria (see list below).
From today (Monday, June 14) to Sunday, June 20, those who have yet to be vaccinated will be offered their first dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine at the NHS mobile clinic.
The vaccine bus will be based at different sites across the city throughout the week, including Deepdale Retail Park, Flag Market and Cardinal Newman College.
No appointment is needed. Those seeking a jab can just walk-in during the opening hours listed below for each site.
Hot weather is forecast this week and queues are expected due to demand for the vaccine. Therefore, those organising the mobile vaccinations are advising people to come prepared with a drink and sunscreen if needed, as there may be a wait when you arrive.
The NHS said the mobile facility "makes getting your jab easier and more convenient", and says clinicians will be on hand to answer questions and address any concerns people might have.
