Templehall Community Centre, Kirkcaldy Meanwhile, work is under way to rapidly expand capacity and staffing at these venues from Tuesday, in order to cover the appointments that have been overbooked. However, at the Templehall Community Centre in Kirkcaldy, where the physical capacity of the venue cannot be expanded, some patients booked for appointments will have the option of using a shuttle bus to have their vaccination carried out at the nearby Victoria Hospital. All patients with appointments at Templehall Community Centre are asked to attend the clinic at the time and date on their letter and should not go directly to the Victoria Hospital.

On Air Next NHS Fife has revealed full details of its community vaccination programme.
Thirteen venues are being set up across the Kingdom to help with the rollout of the jag to people in their 60s and 70s.
The health board says that by today (Friday February 5) everyone over the age of 80 in the Kingdom will have been offered vaccinations through their GPs.
By February 15 the target is to get the vaccine to all those aged over 65 and the most clinically vulnerable patients.
After that point, the programme will move on to focus on those between the ages of 16 and 64 who are high-risk, and unpaid carers.
WEST FIFE venues are among 12 unveiled by NHS Fife that will become community vaccination clinics. The health board say that, since autumn, a wide range of potential premises across the Kingdom had been assessed for their suitability. Fife s health chiefs had to be satisfied that venues could safely store vaccine supplies, get rid of clinical waste and ensure safe physical-distancing requirements could be met. The 12 venues confirmed as community vaccination sites are: Parkgate Community Centre, Rosyth; East End Park, Dunfermline; Dunfermline East Church; The Lochgelly Centre; Templehall Community Centre, Kirkcaldy; Randolph Wemyss Memorial Hospital, Buckhaven; Rothes Halls, Glenrothes; Cupar Corn Exchange; East Neuk Centre, Anstruther; The Larick Centre, Tayport; St Andrews Community Hospital; and Tayside Institute Community Centre, Newburgh.
