The health service said a confirmed case was unknowingly infectious when they attended the hub on Friday from 11.45am to 12.45pm.
Anyone who was at the vaccination centre during this time must get a test and isolate until they receive a negative result.
They must also seek a second test on Wednesday.
HNEH is also contacting close contacts from the exposure.

On Sunday, HNEH removed one case attributed on Friday to New Lambton and another allocated to Armidale.
The Herald is seeking official confirmation that the New Lambton case was the mineworker.
