Slough Salt Hill Activity Centre to become new mass vaccination centre

Ten further mass vaccination centres are due to open in England this week with more than a million over-80s invited to receive their coronavirus jab - including one in Berkshire.

Salt Hill Activity Centre in Slough is among the new locations where large-scale Covid-19 vaccination will take place from Monday.

NHS England said they joined the seven existing mass vaccination sites across the country, alongside a thousand GP-led surgeries and more than 250 hospitals also offering vaccines.

It comes as the Government urged the public to “play their part” in supporting “the largest vaccination programme in British history”, including helping the elderly attend their appointments.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock urged people to commit to three pledges to “help out”, “join up” and “stay informed” during ongoing efforts to vaccinate, run clinical trials and share accurate health advice.
