On Friday, community leaders visited the DPI building in Prince Street to take a look at the facility where it is hoped more than 2000 residents will received a dose of either AstraZeneca of Pfizer vaccine.

While there, they spoke about their role in helping NSW Health and the ADF manage the week-long operation, and what residents can expect.

Inspector Peter Atkins of Central West Police said he was excited to see the opportunity to get vaccinated given to Orange residents.

"Police and emergency services will be here assisting the Defence Force in administration of vaccinations and crowd control," he said.

"There's parking on site but also around the street. We're looking for people to drive, walk or if you need transport then contact LiveBetter and get transport to the vaccination centre. They're assisting people who can't get here. There's a phone number on their site to contact if you need assistance getting down to the hub.

"There's seven days of vaccination in Orange next week so we're hoping everyone who can get vaccinated will get vaccinated and we look forward to next week being a smooth process."

Eligibility for vaccines at this clinic will be as follows:

Orange Mayor Reg Kidd was most excited to see the vaccination hub being made available to people as young as 12.

He stressed the point that those 12, 13, 14 or 15 years of age who would like to get vaccinated will need to be accompanied by a parent or carer.

"I would like to encourage all those young school children in Orange that maybe hope to get back to school and enjoy the company of their friends," he said.

"When I compare ourselves with other areas we are quite fortunate. I think a lot of work goes into something like this.

"Logistically it's a big, big task and I think it will go really well. I've been told that they can probably do 300 (vaccinations) a day and that's a lot of vaccinations, so if you look for seven days that will be 2100 and I'll be extremely disappointed if we don't reach that 2100."

People must not attend the clinic if they:

The Indigenous community has been asked to "avail themselves" when a pop-up vaccination hub comes to Orange next week.

CEO of the Orange Aboriginal Medical Service said in order to vaccinate all of its clients, it will require 900 doses a fortnight until the end of November.

"If we can get those people through the hub next week, it reduces our burden and then we are able to have the vaccine to do the second dose in four weeks time," he said.

"That's for all of the population who come to our service, but we've made the decision to see people even if they aren't clients of our service."

He added OAMS has made the decision that they will not only give vaccinations to its clients, but to anyone who wished to get the jab.

"We at the Aboriginal Medical Service will be running daily vaccination clinics after next week," Mr Newman said.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for us to partner with our mainstream health providers, the other services involved with it so that we can show our community that we are here to support them."

The hub will be open from 9am to 4.30pm on all seven days.

Matt Staniforth is the operational officer for NSW Rural Fire Service. He outlined how they will be assisting, as well as the parking situation.

Rural Fire Service will supply 25 local volunteers to assist our other agencies in the vaccination hub all of next week," he said.

"At the moment we'll be helping to marshal members of the public and also just assist with some traffic control to make sure the area for the whole week is as safe as it can be.

"I think the best way to get out of this situation that we're in is we encourage people to get vaccinated to protect themselves, their families and their communities as a whole.

"There will be use of the carpark facilities (at the DPI), on-street parking as well.

"The weather should be clearing up next week and looks to be clear, partly cloudy and mainly sunny so that shouldn't be a problem."

Executive director with the DPI, Caroline Myers, said with limited staff currently working from the office that the building was an excellent spot to set up shop.

"DPI are absolutely thrilled to partner with regional NSW and open up our building and support Health and the ADF conduct a pop-up vax clinic here next week," she said.

"We've got lots of staff who have volunteered to help and we want to help the ADF and the health to get everyone through as safely and efficiently as possible. We're very much part of the community and happy to assist.

"We only have a limited number of staff working in the building and we've got a separate area for them to work in for the period of the hub and the ground floor will be used for the vaccination clinic.

"We've got registration areas, waiting areas, the actual immunisation areas and the area where people can recover."
