Walk-in Covid vaccinations clinics are taking place across Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket this week in a bid to encourage more people to get their jab.

The region has had one of the most successful vaccination rates in the country, according to statistics released by NHS England, and it is hoped the walk-in clinics will allow even more to get vaccinated.

They are taking place right across Suffolk and anyone over the age of 18 can take advantage - whether you are having a first or second dose.
