2. MASS VACCINATION CENTRES – THE MAIN POINT OF CALL FOR MOST OF THE POPULATION

The Scottish Government has confirmed the temporary NHS Louisa Jordan hospital at the SEC centre in Glasgow (below) will be used as a mass vaccination centre. It is still believed to be in talks with health boards and local authorities to find the most suitable mass vaccination centres. Options include:

▪ Football stadiums

▪ Airports

▪ City centre hubs

▪ Pop-up vaccine venues

▪ Roving units for rural areas

3: GP CLINICS - AND EVEN DRIVE-IN JABS

A small number of Scottish GP surgeries will begin vaccinating within weeks, with more practices joining in on a phased basis.

There’s also talk of drive-through centres for people to get the jab in their cars. In all, it is hoped about 30million people in the UK will be vaccinated in Phase One.
