Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on plans to offer COVID-19 vaccines to those working at testing centres.
Answer
Staff at symptomatic test sites are now included as part of Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation’s (JCVI) cohort 2. Scottish Government officials will provide health boards of a list of workers in their area, and once received boards should contact these workers to invite them to be vaccinated. Boards should ensure that appointments for these workers are scheduled immediately and given priority over later priority.
