Sue Peckitt, chief nurse at NHS North Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group, said:
"These walk-in clinics are aimed at those people who have not taken up the opportunity to book their vaccine via the NHS national booking service or NHS 119.
"With many covid restrictions set to be lifted on July 19, it's important we create a strong vaccine wall of resistance to help keep coronavirus transmission rates as low as possible, protect those who are most susceptible to suffering serious illness and reduce the impact on hospitals and other healthcare settings."
Covid vaccine uptake in England has almost halved over the past fortnight, particularly among the under 30s.
In the Harrogate district, the latest figures show 118,142 people have had first doses and 97,104 have had second vaccines.
It means a total of 215,246 vaccinations have been given so far.
Public Health England statistics show the district currently has a first dose uptake of 83%, while the second dose rate is 68%.
