A pop-up vaccination centre has opened at a mosque in Middlesbrough - with no appointment needed. 

People over 50, or those with certain health conditions, could turn up at the Al Mustafa Centre and wait for their jab. 

It comes amid concerns about vaccine hesitancy after ruling's yesterday on withholding the AstraZeneca vaccine for the under-thirties - and lower take-up in ethnic minority communities.



The mosque's own Imam filmed his injection to encourage confidence among his congregation.
