Hubs run by the Royal Flying Doctor Service will be set up from 9:30am to 4pm at the Tamworth Sports Dome on Tuesday, Wests Leagues Club on Wednesday, and the Youthie on Thursday.

No appointment is required and the clinics are spread across the city, which will remove barriers for some members of the public, according to Tamworth MP Kevin Anderson.

Significant effort is being put into making sure First Nations people are a big part of the vaccination push.

The Tamworth Aboriginal Medical Service (TAMS) is helping run some of the clinics and is providing transport for those who can't make it there themselves. Director manager Damion Brown said he expects the Indigenous community to respond well to the hubs.

"The Aboriginal community has been part of the priority group in the rollout from a national point of view and we've been driving that," he said.

"Walk-in clinics really work in our experience, access I think has got better in the last couple of weeks and I'm feeling confident about it."

Greater access for people to walk or get rides to the clinics was a major factor in planning the events, and Mr Brown believes the hub at the Youthie in Coledale will be very effective.

He said there was still a "smidgen" of hesitancy around the vaccine but said that issue had changed for the positive.

This was backed up by TAMS doctor Raj Ishri who said people have become a lot more comfortable lately.

"[Questions about] clotting used to be one of the issues with AstraZeneca but it has become something of the past now, and people are more talking about things on social media but don't have any scientific basis," he said.

"We go with what we know on science about the vaccines, and we've seen the hesitancy has decreased and a lot of people are coming up and having the vaccinations."

Another demographic organisers are expecting to see a lot of is children aged 12 to 18, now they are eligible to get vaccinated and it is school holidays.

However, if someone in that age bracket attends without a parent or carer present, they will require written consent.

Tamworth Youth Council member Charlee Marshall is urging young people from across the region to get the jab now.

"When it comes to youth in Tamworth getting vaccinated, the most important message to realise is that you're not only protecting your own health, but you're protecting the health of your friends, family and the wider community," the 16-year-old said.

"The youth of our region have pivotal role in determining how the virus may or may not progress into the future."

Pop up clinics will also operate from 10:30am to 3:30pm at Barraba's Bicentennial Hall on October 1, Soldiers Memorial Hall in Manilla on October 2, and Nundle Memorial Hall on October 3.

Mr Anderson said the week will act as a "blitz" for the region, and encouraged all unvaccinated locals to jump aboard the vaccination "road train".
