The 'specially designed facility' inside the Leicester store will begin vaccinating patients this Saturday (27th March).

It's the latest of the 25 Boots branches in England administering the COVID-19 vaccine.

The Leicester site will use the Oxford-Astrazenica jab.

Nick Sunderland, Programme Director for Vaccines at Boots, said:

“Our pharmacy team in Leicester are hugely excited by the opportunity to help their local community by offering the COVID-19 vaccine instore.

"We are incredibly proud to be supporting the NHS to deliver COVID-19 vaccinations – our stores are conveniently located and accessible. We look forward to welcoming patients over the coming days and weeks.”

Boots opened its first site in Halifax in January and they've vaccinated 60,000 patients in store. There are plans to expand further to more stores in the coming weeks.

Patients will be invited directly by the NHS to book their COVID-19 vaccination appointment at the Boots Leicester pharmacy.
