From Wednesday 9 to Tuesday 15 June NHS Lanarkshire will have an additional 1,000 appointments a day at our covid-19 vaccination supercentre at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility.
The appointments are for second doses and are open to people who received their first dose before 1 April and who:
- don’t have a second dose appointment yet;
- have an appointment and wish to bring it forward; or
- did not attend their initial second dose appointment.
Dr Mark Russell, Lead for the covid-19 vaccination programme in Lanarkshire, said: “We have been able to increase the number of second dose appointments we can offer due to the support we are receiving from the Armed Forces. This means we can give people the opportunity to bring forward their second doses if they wish, which will help to protect more people as quickly as possible.”
Please try to reschedule your appointment online in the first instance – details will be on your appointment letter. If you don’t have a letter, visit www.nhsinform.scot/covid-19-vaccine/invitations-and-appointments/rearrange-or-opt-out-of-your-coronavirus-vaccination-appointment
Dr Russell added: “Vaccination against covid-19 has never been more important. To help continue on our road back to normality we need to make sure as many people as possible are vaccinated. It is also important to attend for both doses, for longer lasting protection.”
