GP practices in Harrogate and the surrounding area will oversee the rollout and appealed for volunteers to help marshal the car park and signpost patients.
The vaccination programme is expected to last several months. Vaccines will be carried out seven days a week from 8am to 8pm.
It has been a long road to this point and news of the vaccine centre opening locally has been welcomed by those in line to receive it.
