People in Camborne can grab a jab at the same time as doing their shopping this weekend, when a pop-up vaccination clinic takes place on Saturday in the Dolcoath Council office car park, from 10am to 6pm.

Cases of Covid-19 are rising across Cornwall, but NHS Kernow is saying getting a jab is one of the ways people can keep safe, and get back to normality.

Reeds Pharmacy will also be at The Globe in Frances Street, Truro running a walk-in clinic from 9am to 4pm on both days of the weekend. 

And the NHS has teamed up with Cornwall ambulance service and the town council in Newquay for the start of a mobile Covid vaccine tour of Cornwall, with the van parked at Killacourt, The Crescent, Newquay from 9.30am to 5.30pm on Monday.

This is in addition to vaccination centres at Stithians Showground and the Royal Cornwall Showground now letting people turn up without an appointment.
