THE GLASGOW TIMES is asking our readers to contact us if they are having problems accessing a flu jab this year.
We previously reported NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGCC) has spent £2.2 million transferring the immunisations to health and social care partnerships (HSCPs), but opted to “utilise” the Scottish Immunisation Recall System originally designed for childhood vaccinations which prioritises youngest age groups first.
As a result, 65-year-olds are being immunised first, while those in their 90s could wait until the end of November or even December.
The revelation has sparked outrage across the city, with calls being made for the Scottish Government to step in.
Now we want to hear from you and tell your story. Get in touch by e-mail news@glasgowtimes.co.uk or call 0141 302 7000.
