We are pleased to have started our Covid 19 Vaccinations Clinics. We have been vaccinating in order of the priority groups, as listed here by NHS Scotland. If you fall into one of these groups, our team will contact you to arrange an appointment. There is no need for you to contact the practice as we will be in touch with those eligible.
All other groups will be offered appointments via Health Board run services by letter. If you have any questions about the COVID Vaccine, please see NHS Inform, or call the national helpline 0800 030 8013 which is open from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week.
