AFC WIMBLEDON are set to convert part of their brand-new Plough Lane stadium into a Covid-19 vaccination centre.
The Dons officially moved back to the site after a 30-year absence back in November.
But government restrictions and final building work mean supporters have yet to come through the turnstiles.
However, the facility has now been offered to the NHS to help provide necessary jabs against the deadly virus.
Meeting rooms and executive suites are understood to be turned over to health professionals.
An AFC Wimbledon source said: “We always said Plough Lane was going to be a stadium for the community.
“Now it is set to act as a major vaccination hub for Merton in an area that needs it.”
Bristol City’s Ashton Gate stadium is one of the seven mass vaccination centres due to open to deliver jabs next week.
