All community pharmacy vaccination sites and mass vaccination centres are automatically added to the NBS regardless of their capacity. Regional systems prioritise the addition of sites to the NBS according to local need and may also include smaller sites such as ‘pop-ups’ to meet local care needs.</p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 02/03/2022 10:04:35 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup
