A community centre on Wakefield's Eastmoor estate will be among the venues administering the Covid vaccine, it's been confirmed.

St Swithun's on Arncliffe Road will be a hub for those invited to get the jab over the coming weeks.

The NHS stresses that members of the public will be contacted directly to arrange an appointment when it's their turn to receive the vaccine.
