A marquee has been erected opposite the former B&M stores vaccination centre next to Preston Bus Station.
The vaccination centre in St John’s is set to start vaccinating people on Thursday (18 February).
It has been confirmed by the NHS that the marquee is to provide heated shelter as part of the queuing system for when people arrive at the vaccination site.
