BRADFORD Central Mosque will open its doors to become a community Covid-19 vaccination centre. It marks the beginning of a major initiative where Bradford Council for Mosques is teaming up with local GPs to accelerate and increase take-up of the vaccine as an essential preventative measure against the virus. The vaccination centre at the Central Mosque, Westgate, in the city centre, will be open from tomorrow between 8.30am and 1.30pm. It is hoped the initiative will help to increase confidence in the vaccine across the city, encouraging people to go for the jab in ever-increasing numbers. The vaccine hub is part of a series of measures launched by Bradford Council for Mosques to give positive information and reassurance about vaccines and encourage uptake among all priority at-risk groups. Wherever essential, it is looking at ways to provide transport for those most needing it.
