Two specialist Covid vaccination clinics for people with learning disabilities are to be held in Leicestershire.
Local health bosses said the sessions would provide a calm environment, longer appointment times and extra support.
They will take place at Loughborough Hospital later and at Leicester's Peepul Centre on 15 December.
Pre-booked visitors can receive their first, second or booster jabs.
Sam Screaton, learning disability vaccination clinical lead at the Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, said: "It is extremely important to us to ensure the Covid-19 vaccines and boosters are accessible to everyone.
"All staff working at these clinics will go the extra mile to ensure patients feel comfortable, calm and able to have the vaccine."
