From today, all adults over the age of 18 in Scotland can attend drop-in vaccine clinics to receive their first or second dose of the Covid vaccine.
Pop up clinics across the country are open from today as part of a push to get people vaccinated amidst a surge in cases which saw Scotland record the highest number of daily infections ever last week.
Here's everything you need to know about your nearest drop-in clinic and who is eligible to attend.
Who can attend drop-in vaccine clinics?
You can attend a drop-in vaccine clinic if you are over the age of 18 and are yet to receive your first dose.
You can receive your second Covid-19 jag at a drop-in centre if eight weeks have passed since you received your first dose.
Where are the drop-in vaccine clinics?
You can find your nearest vaccine drop-in clinic by going to nhsinform.scot/vaccinedropinclinics and selecting your local NHS board.
The vaccine clinics are mobile units operated by the Scottish Ambulance Service and will therefore go to different locations across your area on different days.
Each health board's website will provide information on where the drop-in clincs will be each day.
The opening times for the clinics will vary across the health boards.
All information regarding drop-in clinics will also be posted on your NHS board's social media pages, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Are there drop-in clinics in every Scottish health board?
There are vaccine drop-in clinics in every mainland health board.
However, there are no drop-in clinics available in NHS Western Isles and NHS Shetland.
What happens if I already have an appointment?
If you have an appointment booked but would like to attend a drop-in centre instead, you can do so.
I already have an appointment booked, will the drop-in clinics make the queue longer?
No, there will be separate queues for people with appointments and people who are attending drop-in clinics meaning you shouldn't have to wait any longer if you already have a pre-booked appointment.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
