Church Street Surgery is the first that will be offering the vaccine and will hold a clinic every Saturday from that date.
On each day 400 local people will be able to receive a dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, with the rollout in stages which priorities the elderly and those with certain medical conditions.
The first group in Benalla who will be able to book a vaccine are people aged 70 and over, or those who have a valid medical condition.

“All our staff are doing online COVID training before administering the vaccine.
“We will be offering the AstraZeneca vaccine, which will be delivered in two doses.”
