Where to get a coronavirus vaccine in Bolton this weekend

Volunteers and local NHS and public health teams have been working flat out over the last few months to jab as many residents as possible in order to get the infection rate down in Bolton.

• CORONAVIRUS: Places popular with young people 'linked to higher than average number of cases'

The town's famous vaccine bus has been moving across the borough, targeting hotspots of the virus, with sites at GPs and other pop-up sites also open to be accessible to as many people as possible.

The vaccination programme is forging ahead in its mission to vaccinate everyone over the age of 18, ahead of the proposed easing of restrictions on July 19.
