The latest phase of the vaccine roll-out is being co-ordinated by GP-led Primary Care Networks (PCNs).
Two GP practices in St Neots will open their Covid-19 vaccination services this week, as the roll out of the biggest vaccination programme in NHS history.
Across the border, in west Suffolk, jabs will be given out from Monday (January 11) at the Jubilee Centre in Mildenhall, serving people in the old Forest Heath district.
In east Suffolk, Sole Bay Health Centre, in Southwold, has also been designated as a vaccination site from next week.

Dr Nick Morton, lead GP at the Trinity and Bowthorpe Medical Practice said: “We are delighted to be delivering the vaccine to our patients and those of neighbouring GP surgeries across Norwich. This is the biggest vaccination programme the NHS has ever seen and will take some weeks and months, but it is amazing to be part of it.
