COVID vaccine roll out opens to next age groups in Fife

NHS Fife is also beginning its roll out for the 50-54 age group from the following week.

As the latest phase gets underway, health bosses have also paid tribute to everyone involved in the mass programme.

And they urged Fifers to make sure they kept their appointments.

Scott Garden, director of pharmacy and Medicines at NHS Fife commented: “We continue to make good progress to vaccinate those most at risk of COVID-19 in and we’re delighted to be moving onto vaccinating those aged 50 and over in the next few weeks ahead of schedule.”

“The vaccine is key to beating the virus and eventually returning to normal life, so it’s really important that you get it when you are invited.”
