Practice News - Mobile Vaccination Unit

NHS Lanarkshire is working with colleagues in the Scottish Ambulance Service to bring a mobile vaccination unit to rural areas of Lanarkshire.

Dr Mark Russell, Lead for the covid-19 vaccination programme in Lanarkshire, said: “The mobile vaccination unit will help us to reach parts of the community who may have struggled to get to one of our vaccination centres. The bus will offer the covid-19 booster and flu vaccinations as well as first and second doses of the covid-19 vaccine for anyone who still needs to be vaccinated.

“You don’t need an appointment, you can just drop-in as long as you are eligible. For those requiring a covid-19 booster it needs to be at least six months since your second dose.”

To check if you are eligible for a booster visit, www.nhsinform.scot/covid-19-vaccine/the-vaccines/coronavirus-covid-19-booster-vaccination

First doses of the covid-19 vaccine are available to everyone over the age of 12 and second doses are available to anyone who has waited at least eight weeks since their first dose.

Appointments for covid-19 booster and flu vaccinations have started to be issued to those aged over 70 and those aged over 16 who were previously shielding. These appointments will take place in our seven vaccination centres across Lanarkshire.
