Australian Defence Force personnel were on site at Pioneer Park on Friday afternoon to prepare for the expected influx of residents wanting the COVID vaccine.
No appointments are needed, just a medicare card.
"We're pretty excited... that will help skyrocket the rate of vaccination in the region," Wester NSW Local Health District chief executive Scott McLachlan said.

The Local Health District expects to administer 10,000 doses of Pfizer a week, and more AstraZeneca.
The ADF teams will begin deployment to other communities from Monday.
The "mass vaccination" plans are a joint effort from NSW Health, police and the ADF.
"NSW Health and NSW Police are the lead, so they are providing the schedule, we are providing the manpower and the delivery," Colonel Warwick Young of the ADF said.
It's hoped thousands of residents will take advantage of the pop-up clinic, but they are warned to come prepared for long lines.
"You do need to be prepared for a long wait there, there's no doubt about that...we're asking you to take some water, take a hat, put on sunscreen, make sure you're thinking about food," Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said.
The Pioneer Park clinic will be in place through to Sunday, August 29, from 9am - 4:30pm. There are plans for an additional, drive-in vaccination clinic in Dubbo, but the location is being finalised.
"Bear in mind, that process is going to be there for the next nine or ten days, no one is going to miss out on a vaccine," Western Region Commander, Assistant Commissioner Geoff McKechnie said.
There's been a significant drop in testing numbers across the region with 5,300 conducted on Thursday, 2,700 of those in Dubbo. That's in contrast to the 10,000 in the days prior.
"We have COVID spreading across nearly every community in our region, we know it's out there...please get tested," Mr McLachlan said.
Up to 8pm Thursday, there were 27 new cases across the Western region, 21 were in Dubbo, two were in Bourke, two were in Gilgandra and another two were in Goodooga.
The total across the health district were 194.
There are four people in hospital, one in the ICU in Dubbo.
About 50 per cent of cases are under 20 years of age, and 90 per cent under 50 years-old. There is now one case over 70.
Encouragingly, only three of the 21 cases in Dubbo were infectious in the community.
However, Gilgandra is a community "of real concern", as are Cobar and Narromine where there have been detections of virus fragments in the sewerage.
Monday will see the opening of a vaccination clinic at the Wellington Aboriginal Corporation Health Service. Bookings are essential, by calling 6845 5423.
