Covid-19: Birmingham venues offer space for vaccine rollout

A nightclub is among venues offered to the NHS to use for rolling out coronavirus vaccines.

The Nightingale in Birmingham and several other venues could be used for free, Lawrence Barton, the director of the city's Southside BID, said.

It comes after James Watt, the founder of BrewDog, said his venues could be used for free, to make use of their "waiting areas and huge refrigerators".

University Hospitals Birmingham began vaccinating on 12 December.

We are one of the biggest venues in Birmingham with ample room for NHS staff over three floors.” Lawrence Barton tweeted
