Hazard tape on the floor marks out the space.
Around 1,000 over-80s in total are set to receive their injections at the Barton centre, getting the first dose of the Pfizer jab.
There had also been plans to vaccinate this weekend at Cherwell School but they have been scrapped.
An NHS spokesperson for the South East region, said: “This is a huge logistical challenge for the NHS and sites will start vaccinating once everything is in place to be able to deliver the vaccine safely.
"Thanks to the hard work of GPs, nurses, pharmacists and other primary care staff, sites across the South East have begun vaccinating vulnerable patients.”
