Where can I go to get a vaccine in Tayside?
Here's where you can get you coronavirus jag in NHS Tayside if you've not yet been invited or if you've missed your appointment.
NHS Tayside's scheduled this week's drop-in Covid vaccine clinics,and are encouraging everyone who hasn't yet come forward for their jag.
The drop-in clinics are for anyone who lives in Tayside and is aged 18 or over who has not had their first dose, or anyone who needs their second dose and has waited eight weeks or more since their first dose.
If you have tested positive for coronavirus you must wait 28 days from testing positive to attend for vaccination.
If you are a close contact of a positive case, and have completed the 10 day self-isolation period and not tested positive for coronavirus, you can attend for your vaccination on the 11th day.
Director of Public Health Dr Emma Fletcher said, “Everyone is aware of the current situation in Tayside, and particularly in Dundee, in terms of high numbers of cases in the community. We know that many people currently have or have recently had COVID-19, or may be self-isolating as a close contact, and therefore can’t get vaccinated right now.
“Please don’t worry, we will continue running our drop-in clinics and offering appointments over the coming weeks to ensure that you can get your vaccine as soon as possible after your period of self-isolation.
“Unfortunately there are young people right now with COVID in Ninewells – not only in our general wards, but also in our intensive care and high dependency unit. So we have a simple plea to everyone, but particularly to those in the younger age groups: please go and get your vaccination as soon as you can.
“Drop-in vaccination clinics are running at venues right across Tayside to make it as easy as possible for people to get vaccinated. No appointment is necessary and anyone over 18 can now drop-in.
“So far, uptake of vaccinations in Tayside has been very good. We have delivered over 522,000 vaccines in Tayside with more than 296,000 people, 85% of the adult population, having one dose and around 226,000 people, 64%, having had both doses but we need that uptake to be higher to stop the spread of the virus.
