The site opened on January 16.

It's going to be a 'pharmacy led' vaccination site.

COVID-19 vaccination sites led by community pharmacies began to administer vaccines to patients in England from the week beginning 11 January 2021.

This means if you receive a letter, you can now book to be vaccinated via the national system.
