Famous London nightclub turned to pop-up jab centre

One of London's most famous nightlife venues was turned into a pop-up vaccination centre on Sunday. The country's health service had prepared about 1,200 jabs, but more nurses than patients attended the make shift site at Heaven nightclub throughout most of the afternoon.

Amongst nurses, the priority was to make sure that no vial would go to waste. Doses of the vaccine were carefully prepared in small batches as more people came in. Despite the low turnout, most were happy to get their first or second dose of the Pfizer vaccine while listening to pop singers like Beyoncé and Ariana Grande.

The special vaccination event was the idea of Jeremy Joseph, owner of the club. He said he had been trying to get authorities to agree to use the nightclub as a vaccine centre for months and he was happy that they had finally agreed to use the venue. Heaven nightclub is a pillar of the LGBT community in the UK and home to many drag queen shows.
