Health chiefs are reminding residents they have just a few days left to take up the Covid vaccine before the offer ends in Scotland at the end of June.
Those aged five to 49-years-old who are not at higher risk of severe coronavirus illness have until this Friday (June 30) to attend for a first or second dose of the coronavirus vaccination.
Drop-in vaccine clinics are available for people aged 12 years and over in Ayrshire, while children aged five – 11 need to have an appointment to attend and cannot drop-in.
Appointments should be booked by calling the national helpline on 0800 0303 8013. A list of drop-in clinic locations, dates and times can be viewed here.
After June 30, the Ayrshire drop-in clinics will continue to operate for those eligible for Spring booster vaccine doses or who are in the high risk group for coronavirus who have not completed their primary course.
Lisa Davidson, NHS Ayrshire & Arran Assistant Director of Public Health, said: “Vaccination is our best protection against serious coronavirus illness, so I’d encourage everyone to take the vaccines they are offered.
“There are just a few days left before the offer of a first and second dose for people under 50 who are not at higher risk ends in Scotland, so if you are in this group and wish to be vaccinated please attend a drop-in clinic this week, where our vaccination teams will be delighted to welcome you.
“If you’d prefer to make an appointment you can do so either by using the national online booking portal https://vacs.nhs.scot/csp or by calling the helpline on 0800 030 8013 to arrange.”
