On Monday, Boris Johnson said booster jabs would be offered to everyone over 18 in England, in an attempt to tackle what he called the "Omicron emergency".
The practice in Bridlington is planning to work over bank holidays until the end of the year to meet the target.
Jaya Authunuri, who runs the vaccine service, said it would give four times as many doses as originally planned.
Mr Authunuri said they were adding extra bookable vaccination sessions at the Medical Centre in Station Avenue after holding an emergency meeting with all the town's doctors.
"As health care professionals we understand that the virus out there is actually dangerous and harmful, so it's to provide reassurance that we as the NHS are working hard for them and making sure they get what they need," he said.
"We divided into teams where one part of the team does a normal day-to-day surgery work and the other team focuses on the vaccination."
He added that the clinic was now providing about 1,400 jabs a day with the help of staff and volunteers and with the support of other GP practices in Bridlington.
To meet the PM's target of getting everyone over 18 vaccinated for a third time by the end of the year more than 1m doses a day will have to be administered.
