A pop-up clinic is running in Beaumont Leys this week, in an attempt to encourage eligible patients from the area to have their jab.

Held on a drop-in basis, the clinic will invite people to receive their first vaccine without needing to make an appointment.

It was also revealed this week that health bosses are exploring the idea of setting up a drive-through vaccine clinic ready for when younger people are offered their first appointments.
