These are the world’s most surprising Covid vaccination sites

As the world rushes to roll-out coronavirus vaccines, governments and health officials have had to get creative with their vaccination sites, converting public spaces into venues for jabs.

From cathedrals to nightclubs, few spaces have been spared - with schools, stadiums and even historic landmarks being used as vaccination sites to meet demand.

Many sites have been created by taking advantage of spaces which have been shut down by Covid-19 restrictions.

These include: New York City’s Citi Field stadium, Singapore’s Changi Airport Terminal, and Epsom Downs racecourse in England.
