I have heard from many elderly constituents who are extremely concerned about having to travel up to 80-miles round trip to receive their flu jab after the Scottish Government centralised the rollout of winter vaccinations.
Many of my constituents will be unable and too nervous to travel 2 hours to receive their jab. Getting the flu vaccination is essential to protecting their health, especially with Covid-19 present, and it is vital that vaccination facilities are set up locally to ensure my constituents receive their vaccine.
I have written to the Health Secretary on this issue to ensure that constituents will be able to receive their jabs imminently.
