The centre was set up on December 29 after Banbury Town Council persuaded health authorities that a local vaccination clinic was a necessity for families without their own transport.

It was agreed that it would stay open for two weeks.

The clinic saves jab-seekers journeys of 20 miles or more – sometimes to hard-to-reach places if travelling by bus or train.

Town councillors and Banbury Lions have served as volunteers at the clinic – helping the operation to run smoothly.

Leader of the council Kieron Mallon, said: “The centre has been an important facility for Banbury people and there has been a steady stream of customers every day. It has enabled a lot of people to receive vaccinations without undertaking difficult journeys.

“The centre is very efficient and the volunteers have been a tremendous help. There are no long queues and I urge people to use it while it is still open.”
