Brimbank residents will be able to get vaccinated at a number of locations in the coming weeks.

On top of the state hub at Sunshine Hospital that has been running throughout, pop-up clinics are running in St Albans, Sunshine, Deer Park and Keilor.

The Deer Park hub will be at the Deer Park Hall every Thursday until December 16 between 9am and 4pm.

A pop-up vaccination hub will run at the Old Shire Hall in Keilor on Tuesdays, until December 14 between 9am and 4pm.

In St Albans, a vaccination hub at the Tin Shed will run daily between 10am and 4pm until November 28, while vaccinations will be available at the Senior Citizens Centre on Fridays until December 17.

In Sunshine, there will be vaccines available at the Visy Cares Hub on Wednesdays between 9am and 4pm until December 15. They will be offering first and second doses of Pfizer and second doses of Astrazenca.

All of the hubs are accepting walk-ins.
