Harrogate and Ripon vaccination sites reopen today
The vaccination centres at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate and Ripon Races reopen today for the first time since Christmas.
The two sites are run by Yorkshire Health Network, which represents the 17 GP practices in the Harrogate district.
The Yorkshire Event Centre at the showground will open for booked appointments from 11am until 8pm. Appointments are still available.
The site will also accept walk-ins from 11.30am today but people choosing this option may have to wait because bookings take priority.
The showground will be open at the weekend from 8.30am to 5pm for booked appointments and from 9am to 4pm for walk-ins.
All the clinics are for first, second or booster jabs for over-18s. Special clinics for 12 to 17-year-olds are put on separately.
Ripon Races will be open tomorrow and on Saturday at the usual times of 8:30am to 5pm for booked appointments and 9am to 4pm for walk-ins.

Staff and volunteers at the Yorkshire Event Centre are due to relocate to another building at the showground on Thursday and Friday, ready for the Saturday clinic.
The new site is currently contracted for use until March. A decision on fourth vaccinations has yet to be taken.
