Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: “I’m delighted the fire and rescue services are joining forces with our frontline health and social care workers in delivering the largest vaccination programme in our country’s history.
“39 new large-scale vaccination centres and an extra 62 pharmacy sites will help us meet our target of offering the most vulnerable, and those who care for them, their first jab by 15 February.”
Supermarket giant Morrisons has also confirmed its car parks in Yeovil, Wakefield and Winsford will also operate drive-through vaccination centres.
There are also another 47 car parks up for grabs, the chain said.
Tottenham Hotspur's stadium, The Royal Vauxhall Tavern and G-A-Y in the capital have also all volunteered to act as vaccination centres.
How many vaccines are given daily at vaccination centres?
As of February 2, more than 10million people had been given the Covid vaccine.
The exact number is 10,490,487 as of February 3, that's the equivalent of one in five UK adults.
The NHS doled out 469,016 first doses on that day.
Hancock hailed the “hugely significant milestone”, saying: “Every jab makes us all a bit safer. I want to thank everyone playing their part.”
One in five adults have now had their first dose of a Covid vaccine.
NHS England said the new hubs would offer "thousands" of jabs a week.
Sir Simon Stevens, head of NHS England, said Brits are being vaccinated four times faster than cases of the virus are being detected.
He told the 140 people a minute were being given the jab.
The NHS is now well on course to vaccinate 15million of the highest-risk Brits by mid-February.
