The in-store vaccination centre will be open from 8am to 8pm seven days a week, and will give its first dose on January 25.
In a statement, Asda said: “Asda has offered NHS England the full use of its 238 in-store pharmacies and qualified pharmacists to support the rollout of the Oxford/AztraZeneca vaccine programme which has just begun.
“As this variant of the vaccine is easier to transport and store, it could be administered from Asda’s full network of in-store pharmacies throughout the country.”
Roger Burnley, Asda’s President and CEO said the company is delighted to join to be involved in the scheme.
