25 January 2021
NHS staff will start delivering life-saving Covid vaccinations at the Blackpool Winter Gardens, a former DIY store and the museum where BBC hit Peaky Blinders was filmed from today, January 25.
The new NHS Vaccination Centres are among more than 30 opening across the country as the vaccination drive continues to accelerate.
There is now a network of 50 large scale centres, capable of jabbing thousands of people a week, across the country.
They include the Crick Institute in London and the Sunderland Nightingale hospital as well as the Black Country Living Museum, used as the backdrop to Peaky Blinders.
One of those is Kingston s Hawks Road site, with the other large centres including Hornsey Central Neighbourhood Health Centre at Crouch End, the Westfield Stratford City (an old Ikea and Dwell retail unit) and the Francis Crick Institute near Kings Cross. It will mean that more than 190 vaccination services will be operating across the capital by the end of the week, NHS England added. Dr Vin Diwakar, medical director for the NHS in London offered his praise of the health service s vaccination roll-out in the capital: It is testament to the tireless work of NHS staff across the capital that well over half a million vaccinations have already been given, providing safe, effective and well-tested protection against Covid-19 to Londoners in the vulnerable groups, he said.
