Hide AdIt comes after it was confirmed this week that the former B&M Bargains store in the St John's shopping centre in Preston is being set up as another vaccination hub.
Michael Ball, service lead, said: "It is vital that as many people from the eligible groups as possible receive a Covid-19 vaccination.
"When you get a vaccination, you are protecting yourself and others.
"Wait to receive your invitation for a vaccination from the NHS at which point you can select where you would like to have it administered. We have set up this centre to provide a facility that can help to protect the population of Preston and the surrounding area at this critical time."
