A POP -UP vaccination centre clinic will be set up at the Royal Oldham Hospital tomorrow, Saturday, as the fight to protect residents from coronavirus goes on.

The clinic will take place at the hospital's Dinwoodie Centre from 8.30am to 6.30pm where people will be offered the Pfizer vaccine.

Oldham Council has made the announcement in a bid to get more people vaccinated against Covid-19 amid rising infection rates in recent weeks and concerns over the spread of the Delta variant, which originated in India.

A council spokesman added: "Residents are being advised to bring their NHS number with them if they have it, and if they don’t they can look for it here www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/online-services/find-nhs-number/"
