Muirfield Centre drop in vaccination clinics will operate on a daily basis from Thursday
As we reported last week, lengthy out-of-town trips and a by-invitation-only approach are a thing of the past now.

Dr Mark Russell, Lead for the covid-19 vaccination programme in Lanarkshire said: “These drop-in clinics will help us to vaccinate our communities as quickly as possible and allow us to get back to the things we’ve missed.
"To make the clinics more convenient we have also added rebooking appointments on the same days as the drop-in clinics.
“This means that people can reschedule their booked appointment if it suits them better.
