We have now identified suitable areas in the Salus Departments of our three acute hospital sites to provide dedicated vaccination clinics for staff who have not yet been able to receive their Winter vaccines (flu and/Covid-19 booster).
Staff can book an appointment through the NHS Inform online booking portal at https://vacs.nhs.scot/csp and choosing the health and social care option after logging in.
We are delighted that a number of staff have already taken the opportunity to get their flu and Covid-19 booster vaccinations. We would encourage any staff member who has not yet received them to book an appointment at https://vacs.nhs.scot/csp
When attending for vaccination proof of employment is required so please remember to bring an ID badge or payslip.
Please be aware the acute site clinics are for the flu and Covid-19 boosters only and are appointment only. Any staff opting to ‘drop in’ will not be vaccinated. Any staff who requires a first or second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine will need to book an appointment at one of our vaccination centres.
Frontline health or social care staff are also being encouraged to attend one of our community vaccination centres where they can drop-in at a time that suits them to receive their autumn flu and Covid-19 booster vaccinations. These clinics are open from 8.15am to 7.30pm and are listed below:
- Airdrie Town Hall
- Alistair McCoist Complex, East Kilbride
- Eddlewood Public Hall, Hamilton
- Braidfute Retail Park, Lanark
- Link Community Centre, Cumbernauld
- Ravenscraig Regional Sports Centre, Motherwell
Vaccination is a measure to reduce the risk of severe illness and help reduce the chance of contracting the infection and thereby passing it to others who are more vulnerable to serious disease.
We are encouraging all our staff to get their flu vaccination & Covid-19 booster as the more people who get the vaccine the greater protection there will be for our families, patients and colleagues.
We are also working with local staff who are peer immunisers to introduce further support on our three acute sites for staff to receive their flu and Covid-19 booster vaccinations. We will provide further information how to access the peer immunisers when arrangements have been finalised on each acute site.
