CORONAVIRUS vaccine services have been suspended across the county due to the “dangerous” weather caused by Storm Eunice.
Churchill Square Covid-19 vaccine centre in Brighton, and Northgate in Chichester, will remain closed today, Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust confirmed.
It comes after the The Met Office issued a red weather warning in Brighton and other parts of Sussex.
For safety reasons our vaccination centres at Northgate Chichester and Churchill Square Brighton are closed today (18 Feb) due to Storm Eunice. They will reopen on Saturday.

A spokesman for the Trust said: “For safety reasons our vaccination centres at Northgate Chichester and Churchill Square Brighton are closed today (18 Feb) due to Storm Eunice.
“They will reopen on Saturday. We are contacting anyone with an appointment to offer an alternative. We are sorry for any inconvenience.”
A number of attractions have also closed their doors, including Brighton Palace Pier, Sheffield Park and Garden in Uckfield and Hastings Museum and Art Gallery.
Train travellers have also been urged to rethink their journeys as stormy conditions threaten disruption on the railways.
Strong winds from Storm Eunice could cause trees to be blown on to train lines, possibly leading to delays and cancellations, the Rail Delivery Group said.
A Network Rail spokesman said disruption is “inevitable”.
The railway operator said there will be blanket speed restrictions of 50mph in most places, with winds forecast to reach 90mph in some areas.
