Hospitals, two pharmacies and 13 GP sites are offering jabs across the Tees Valley at the moment. But Middlesbrough councillors have heard how a large-scale jab hub – like those in Newcastle and Washington – will come to Teesside soon. Andrew Rowlands, from the Tees Valley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), told Tuesday’s health scrutiny panel how a mass vaccination centre would come to the area “in the near future”. He later added dates and times for the new hub had not been confirmed yet. When panellists pressed on where the site might be, South Tees Public Health director Mark Adams said the Riverside Stadium had been under consideration as a mass vaccine site for “some time in March”.
