Due to the adverse weather conditions, there has been a delay in the delivery of the flu vaccine to Shetland this week.
As a result, on Friday 21 November and Monday 24 November, flu vaccinations at the Grantfield Vaccination Clinic will be offered only to people aged 65 and over, including both those with scheduled appointments and those wishing to attend on a drop-in basis.
Anyone under the age of 65 who is eligible for the flu vaccine and has an appointment booked for Friday 21 November or Monday 24 November is asked to please contact the Vaccination Team to rearrange their appointment, or to attend a drop-in session later next week once supplies have been replenished.
We apologise for the inconvenience and the short notice. These temporary changes are necessary to ensure vaccine supplies are available until the delayed delivery arrives.We expect our scheduled delivery to reach us early next week, and we will issue further updates as soon as the situation is confirmed.
You can contact the Vaccination Team via email Shet.vaccination-team@nhs.scot and 01595 743 319 (answerphone service available).
