Museum is among the first Covid vaccination centres

Thackray Museum of Medicine in Leeds has become one of the UK’s first Covid-19 vaccination centres. It has handed over part of its building to NHS staff from Leeds and York Partnership NHS Trust and its conference centre has been adapted into a fully functioning space to deliver vaccinations in the area.

A recent multi-million pound upgrade of the Museum saw a greater emphasis placed on the history of learning to understand viruses and developing effective treatments to prevent and treat them.
