Harrogate Bus Company is to offer free shuttle buses to the Great Yorkshire Showground for people who have covid vaccine appointments.

The bus will match the opening hours of the centre and will run from Tuesday, January 26.

The company will use one of its zero-emission electric buses to shuttle patients to and from the site.

It said on its website:

“Buses will run every 30 minutes between Harrogate bus station and the vaccination centre on Wetherby Road, so you'll never have long to wait to get to your appointment or back again.”

  • Ripon to get its own coronavirus vaccination site






It comes as the majority of vaccines for people in the district are being offered at the showground.

Health bosses announced earlier this week that all care home residents and staff in North Yorkshire will be vaccinated before the end of this week.

52,500 people in the highest priority groups have received a covid vaccine in York and North Yorkshire, according to Harrogate and Knaresborough's MP, Andrew Jones.
