Residents have become increasingly worried that the Melton Sports Village site was no longer operating as a venue to deliver coronavirus jabs.
A series of comments have been made on social media by people who have noticed that the vaccination centre has not been in open for a number of days.
But the East Leicestershire and Rutland Clinical Commissioning Group confirmed this afternoon (Friday) there were no plans to close the Melton site.
A spokesperson said: “We are continuing to work with our system partners to plan and mobilise vaccination clinics across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland as vaccine becomes available and when logistically possible.
