Newcastle Centre for Life to open up as mass vaccination centre
Seven mass vaccination centres are to be set up across the country to help with the biggest vaccination programme in the history of the NHS.
The Centre for Life in Newcastle is one of only two venues in the North of England.
The science museum will be used to immunise those who are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccinations that have been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
