NHS Ayrshire & Arran vaccination teams are returning to Brodick to offer a further winter vaccine clinic on the Isle of Arran. Seasonal flu and COVID-19 booster vaccinations will be available on a drop-in basis on Wednesday 29 November at the Ormidale Sports Pavilion from 9am –11.30am.
Please check your eligibility on NHS Inform: Winter vaccines | NHS inform.
You don’t need an appointment to attend but if you prefer to book you can do so either by using the online portal or calling the national helpline on 0800 030 8013.
NHS Ayrshire & Arran Director of Public Health Lynne McNiven said:
“Vaccination remains the best way to limit the impact of both COVID-19 and seasonal flu. I’d strongly encourage anyone eligible to come forward on Wednesday to our clinic at the Ormidale Sports Pavilion to receive their vaccinations.
“Those eligible for both flu and COVID vaccines include people over 65 years old, people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women and frontline health and social care workers. If you are in one of these groups, live on Arran and have not yet had your winter vaccines please come along.”
