Here's a full list of all 9 Edinburgh 'drive-through' flu jab centres and 10 walk-in sites running this winter - and their opening dates and time slots

Details of Edinburgh’s new drive-through and walk-in flu jab sites have been published online.

Nine ‘drive-through’ flu jab centres will be running in Edinburgh from the end of September to make vaccination more accessible and take pressure off the NHS this winter amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The sites - which can each vaccinate up to 500 people a day - will be set up across the city at places like Easter Road stadium, the Scottish Government building at Victoria Quay and Edinburgh Bioquarter in Little France.

A total of 19 drive-through and walk-in sites have been set up across Edinburgh to delivery the city's flu vaccination programme. Pictures: Image Point Fr and James W Copeland/Shutterstock

Flu jabs will also be administered at some GP practices and hospitals, schools, community pharmacies and various walk-in clinics, with practices alone not able to give flu vaccines to everyone required due to Covid-19 and the need to keep social distancing.

According to the NHS Inform website, the drive-through centres and walk-in sites will initially be for anyone over the age of 65, in a clinical risk group, those who are pregnant, a young or unpaid carer or those living with someone who has been shielding. However, it is unlikely anyone else who is eligible for a free flu jab will be turned away.

Several GP practice websites across Edinburgh are now telling patients which drive-through testing centre to go to and are providing a list of available dates and time slots, to be allocated based on the first letter of your surname to prevent traffic queuing. Those without cars, including cyclists, can attend the walk-in clinics.

Here are the drive-through and walk-in flu jab sites as listed on the NHS Inform website, with details of which patients should visit them and opening dates and times;
