Ayrshire residents are being reminded that clinics across the region are continuing to provide drop-in Covid-19 vaccines.
NHS Ayrshire & Arran public health director Lynne McNiven said: “We are continuing to welcome patients at every stage of their vaccine journey – if you are due a first, second or booster dose, our clinics can see you on a drop-in basis.
“You don’t need an appointment to come along, simply attend the clinic most convenient to you on the day and our staff are ready to welcome you.
“If you prefer to book a slot there is plenty of bookable capacity at our local vaccine clinics, so call the helpline on 0800 030 8013 to get a date in the diary for this important protection against coronavirus.
“We’ve seen that Covid-19 can be serious at any age and I’d urge everyone who is eligible to come forward for vaccination. Don’t wait for a blue letter – attend a drop-in or make an appointment as soon as possible.”
The clinics below can can accommodate drop-ins for those who are: unvaccinated seeking a first dose (everyone age 12 and over is eligible); people due a second dose (including those aged 12 to 15 who have recently become eligible for their second dose), and those seeking booster vaccines (12 weeks after a second dose).
