DORSET’S largest vaccination clinic is set to be used for catch-up school immunisations alongside the Covid vaccine programme. The Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) has been operating as a Covid vaccination centre since January, with capacity to vaccinate 9,000 people a week. It is now being readied to deliver vaccinations for school children. Dorset Healthcare’s school age immunisation team (SAIS) is using the bespoke facilities to catch up on HPV (Human Papillovirus) immunisations that were delayed last year due to the pandemic and school closures. Kate Harvey, service director for children, young people and families at Dorset Healthcare, said: “It makes perfect sense to use this facility, which is specifically set up for vaccinations, to help us deliver school immunisations in periods where it is not fully booked for Covid-19 vaccinations.
