RIVERSIDE Medical Practice in Musselburgh says its Covid-19 vaccination programme is “running smoothly”.
A practice spokesperson stressed that the vaccine uptake had been high, with almost all patients eager to get the jab to protect them against the deadly virus.
The practice – East Lothian’s biggest – is now contacting people aged between 75 and 79, and those shielding, who should have already received a letter from the Government or been defined as a shielder by their GP, to offer appointments
Riverside has about 1,100 patients in this group and, after a special weekend vaccine clinic this Saturday, expects to have offered appointments to about half of them, with remaining patients to be contacted once the surgery receives its next vaccine delivery.
