Volunteers are needed to support the Ripon vaccination centre, which is expected to open next month.
Mashamshire Community Office, a charity which offers information and advice in the town, is looking for a team of marshals for the site, which will be at Ripon racecourse.
Health bosses confirmed the location of the vaccination site yesterday.
Volunteers are likely to be needed from the second week of February, a post on the Kirkby Malzeard and Masham Surgery website said.
The post said days may vary, but volunteers are likely to be required on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

All personal protective equipment and hi-vis will be provided and no DBS check is required.
Duties will include directing traffic and guiding people inside the site.
