COVID vaccinations will be administered at a clinic in Drought Street, across the road from the Bendigo Health Emergency Department, from August 16.
Public Health Unit Clinic manager Dan Sheard said the move to the smaller clinic reflected Bendigo Health's changing role in the COVID-19 vaccination program.
"GPs and pharmacists have been doing the bulk of the heavy lifting in recent months but we are certainly proud of the work done at the Mollison Street clinic, with more than 195,000 vaccinations delivered," he said.
Mr Sheard encouraged the community to keep up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations, with more appointments now available at the Drought Street clinic.
He said car parking is limited at the new site.
"Visitors can look for on-street parking in the area," Mr Sheard said.
