A SECOND Inverclyde coronavirus vaccination centre is to open next week at Port Glasgow Town Hall.
It will be used by NHS staff to administer doses of the Covid-19 vaccine from Monday, by appointment-only.
This is in addition to the existing mass vaccination centre at Greenock Town Hall which opened this week.
Councillor Robert Moran said: “As more people are invited to receive their jab, there’s naturally a need for more space to allow NHS staff to administer the vaccine.
“Like Greenock Town Hall, Port Glasgow Town Hall has been chosen as a community vaccination centre because of its size, location and good transport links.
“Both also worked well for delivering flu jabs recently, along with other local venues.
“It’s great to see the council, HSCP and our partners at Inverclyde Leisure, which manages our town halls, working so effectively with our NHS colleagues to mobilise the vaccination programme locally to deliver the jab to as many people as quickly as possible.”
