Our plans for the for the covid-19 booster vaccination programme are continuing and we are working closely with North and South Lanarkshire Councils on the details. We plan to also use these venues for the flu programme.
We have recently confirmed the locations for the seven new sites, in addition to the team for people who are housebound. From 1 September, the vaccination clinics will be located at:
- Airdrie Town Hall, Airdrie
- Fernhill Community Centre, Rutherglen
- Braidfute Retail Park, Lanark (with satellite locations TBC)
- Link Community Centre, Cumbernauld
- Ballerup Hall, East Kilbride
- Banqueting Hall, South Lanarkshire Council Headquarters, Hamilton
- Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility (small hall), Motherwell
The sites were chosen with support from council colleagues as they had to meet certain criteria and staff conducted assessments to confirm their suitability Where local authority venues could not be found, we then looked at commercial premises. Minor capital works need to be carried out in some of the sites and this will be completed before the programme starts in September.
We are briefing staff who are on-site today and will follow-up with all staff next week on the outcome of the exercise to align staff to their preferred site. Thank you to everyone who has been in touch regards this.
We will issue further information on plans for the next phase of the vaccination programme in due course.
