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.
GPs are not undertaking any Covid boosters. These are all being organised by NHS Tayside at a central clinic. An appointment will be sent out and will be in a blue envelope.
Currently NHS Tayside are running Drop-in Vaccination Clinics for younger patients who have not yet a Covid vaccine.
If you are an unpaid carer and have not yet been vaccinated you can click the link below to register for a vaccine.
Covid Vaccination Certification: Medical Exemptions
Health boards are identifying individuals already known who meet the exemption criteria, and Public Health Scotland have issued exemption certificates to these individuals.
GPs and their teams cannot issue vaccination exemption certificates.
Further information on the vaccination exemption certificates scheme, including information on safe vaccination and routes to obtain an exemption can be found on the Scottish Government and NHS Inform websites.
Alternatively you can phone the free NHS Covid helpline on: 0808 196 8565
PLEASE WEAR A MASK WHEN ATTENDING THE HEALTH CENTRE, AND OTHER BUILDINGS IN NHS TAYSIDE.
