THIS is where hundreds of people from across the city are expected to receive a coronavirus vaccine - inside a shopping centre.

People from across Brighton and Hove yet to be vaccinated can access the new vaccination centre inside the former Topshop store in Churchill Square.

The site, which was located in the Brighton Centre, moved from the venue and opened for the first time yesterday.

However, the new centre was forced to close temporarily after hundreds of protesters gathered outside in protest of the continued vaccine rollout.

Among them was notorious conspiracy theorist Kate Shemirani, from East Sussex, who was pictured outside the centre speaking to the crowd.

Today, the site resumed normal operation and those set to attend were given a first look inside.

Posting on Twitter, Sussex Community NHS shared a glimpse inside the centre fit with a waiting area and privacy screens.

The shelves and clothes hangers that once made up the high street fashion brand store are gone and replaced with hand sanitiser and jab station.

The Brighton Centre site opened in January, delivering up to 3,000 vaccinations a day during peak demand.

It was staffed by more than 150 SCFT workers and over 100 volunteers, every day since.

The team has delivered a total of over 250,000 first and second dose vaccinations at the centre.

In a statement, the SCFT previously said: "Anyone who has a second dose appointment booked at the Brighton Centre on or after Monday 30 August will be contacted by text message and email and informed about the change of location for their vaccination. The date and time of the appointment should remain the same."

The Topshop store’s closure officially occurred on February 1 as online fashion retailer Asos secured a £265 million takeover of Topshop, Topman, Miss Selfridge and HIIT amid the collapse of the Arcadia empire.

As a result, the flagship Topshop and Topman store in Brighton's Churchill Square was stripped of stock and fittings.

Anyone receiving their Covid-19 vaccination at the new centre is entitled to one hour’s free parking in the Churchill Square Orange Car Park.

Appointments are staggered to allow for social distancing and people are urged not to turn up early to avoid queues building up.

The vaccination centre will be open from 8.30am to 8pm each day. Walk ins are welcome from 8.30am to 7pm.
