Knaresborough’s vaccination centre is set to open its first walk-in clinic this weekend where people will not need an appointment.
The site at the former Lidl supermarket on York Road will be open between 9am and 1pm tomorrow with 400 Pfizer-Biontech vaccines available.
It will only be open to those who are yet to have their first jab. Only those who are over 18 are currently eligible.

Homecare Pharmacy Service already has plans for another walk-in clinic next weekend, when it will have 2,300 Moderna jabs available. It hopes to hold more in future.
People can still book appointments during a walk-in clinic, which means they will be guaranteed a vaccine.
Jason Baskind, of Homecare Pharmacy Services, told the Stray Ferret:
“We are really excited to hold our first walk-in clinic. The way the whole vaccine programme has gone has been great.
“This weekend is going to be a momentous moment for the country, so why not make it more special and get a jab?
“It is quite likely that we will have queues so make sure to dress appropriately for the weather and be patient with our volunteers.”
