Here are some of the eye-catching or unusual places that are hosting vaccinations, visited by AFP reporters.
Kicking it off at Wembley
Hallowed sports grounds such as Wembley Stadium, Lord’s cricket ground and Bath racecourse are among numerous sports venues opened for vaccines in Britain, one of the quickest countries to roll out vaccinations.
Signs at Lord’s iron gates showed a cricketer whacking not a ball but a spiky red COVID-19 virus, with the legend: Aiming to knock COVID for 6.
It’s such an iconic place, said one recipient, Gerardine Heneghan, 71. And all those amazing cricketers... love it!
I thought it might be at my GP surgery which is literally down the road, said another, Richard Bettinson, 67. But to come here is really good.
