Covid-19 vaccinations in GP and community settings in Clydebank have begun - starting with people aged 80 and over. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s vaccination team began administering the Oxford AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine in the area on Monday, January 11. With age the greatest risk factor for serious illness and death from Covid-19, the first priority group for the vaccine is residents in a care home for older adults and their carers, people aged 80 or over, and frontline health and social care workers. The eligible group will receive a letter or phone call from NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde inviting them to attend a local centre for their vaccination and advising them where and when they can get it.
