Harrogate's showground vaccine centre expands
Harrogate's vaccination centre at the Great Yorkshire Showground has expanded to accommodate more vaccinators as part of a push to meet the government's ambitious booster target.
Overnight the team has increased the number of clinical pods to cater for four more vaccinators and five more administration staff.
It means that rather than administering 1,700 jabs in a day, the team will be able to give 2,000 jabs.
There is now also room for more walk-ins to wait inside in anticipation of the colder weather to come.

Tim Yarrow, operations manager at Yorkshire Health Network, a federation of the 17 GP practices in the Harrogate and district that operates the showground vaccination site, told the Stray Ferret:
Walk-ins are available between 9am and 4pm every day and not outside those times.
