COVID 19, CORONA VIRUS - THE ROYAL HIGHLAND CENTRE OPENS TODAY AS A COVID VACINATION CENTRE/FACILITY



NHS Lothian opens third mass vaccination centre at Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston



 



A retired legal secretary was among the first in line today (wed) when the vaccination centre at the Royal Highland Centre opened its doors for the first time.



Elizabeth Anne Kirk, 68, from Linlithgow, was given the vaccine at the first of the vaccination centres on the site.



She said: “I’m very excited. I haven’t been going out much recently so I feel more relaxed having had the vaccine, although I’ll still be very careful.



“The whole process has been easy and well organised and the staff are very friendly, which is important. There really is nothing to worry about.”



The newest mass vaccination centre, the third in Lothian, is in the Members’ Pavilion which has nine vaccination stations available. It will be capable of vaccinating more than 1,000 people every day, seven days a week.



It will initially be staffed by vaccinators from NHS Lothian, before the British Armed Forces staff the centre for around two weeks. It will revert to the NHS vaccinators after more training and inductions are carried out to boost the ranks.
