Seven mass Covid vaccination centres unveiled in England - including at the Etihad

Seven mass coronavirus vaccination centres have been unveiled.

The vaccination centres are set to open next week and the locations have been outlined with venues in Manchester, London, Newcastle, Birmingham, Bristol, Surrey and Stevenage.

The Etihad Tennis Centre in Manchester will be used for the region, the Prime Minister's official spokesman told a Westminster briefing.

The other centres include Robertson House in Stevenage; the ExCel Centre in London and the Centre for Life in Newcastle.

The other three are Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey; Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol and Millennium Point in Birmingham.

The spokesman said he expected the centres to be run with a combination of NHS staff and volunteers.

The hubs are set to help the government meet its target of vaccinating 14 million people UK-wide by February.

It comes after supermarket chain Morrisons confirmed that car parks at three stores – in Yeovil, Wakefield and Winsford – would host drive-through vaccinations from Monday.

A further 47 car parks have been offered to the government.
