This forms part of the ongoing vaccination effort in Blackpool, with walk-in clinics appointments being offered via both the new pop-up location at the modelvVillage, as well as at the vaccination bus which travels across town.
Blackpool’s mobile vaccine service is a joint operation set up by Blackpool Council’s Public Health team and facilitated by health services provider, FCMS. The aim is to deliver a walk-in, no appointment needed vaccination service that is simple and easy to use, directly to our local communities.
