Manchester United opens Old Trafford for Covid-19 vaccination training

Manchester United

has opened Old Trafford to health administrations to use as an instructional hub for the COVID-19 inoculation program. 

Four accommodation suites at the famous arena will be utilized as "a large-scale training facility" over the coming five ends of the week, the club said.

"The suites, parking, access and our dedicated events team can be valuable assets to this national effort to tackle COVID-19. We are proud to open our doors to St John Ambulance and welcome everyone involved in what is an inspirational project.

"We recognise that our local community will be feeling the effects of the pandemic for some time and we remain committed to using our resources to support the response to this public health emergency and its social impacts."
