Water damage causes closure to Kirkcaldy mass coronavirus vaccination centre

NHS Fife has apologised for any disruption after the closure of its Kirkcaldy mass coronavirus vaccination centre due to water damage caused by recent heavy rain.

The facility shut yesterday and will remain closed today, with the health board advising anyone with an appointment to visit nearby facilities instead.

Patients are being diverted to either the Carnegie Conference Centre in Dunfermline or the former Argos store at the Kingdom Shopping Centre in Glenrothes.

Those affected are being contacted by NHS Fife and are expected to be issued new appointments, but there is also the option of visiting a drop-in clinic without an appointment this week.

More information about such facilities is available on the health board's website.
