PATIENT NOTICE
COVID-19 Vaccination Programme
We are very keen to keep our patients informed of where we are in the COVID vaccination programme but occasionally we fall behind due to the current workload.
We are strictly bound by the rules on priority groups to be vaccinated set by the Scottish Government. The priority groups are:
1. | Older care home residents and their carers* |
2. | 80 years of age and over and Frontline health and social care workers |
3. | 75 years of age and over |
4. | 70 years of age and over and Clinically extremely vulnerable individuals (officially shielded patients) |
5. | 65 years of age and over |
6. 6. | 16 – 64 years of age with underlying health conditions and at clinically higher risk of serious disease and mortality Unpaid carers, including all adult carers and young carers aged 16 to 18 |
7. | 60 years of age and over |
8. | 55 years of age and over |
9. | 50 years of age and over |
We are currently working through the patients in priority group 6. If you fall under groups 1-5 and have not yet been contacted, please contact us.
