Fortrose Medical Practice on Black Isle prepares over-65 cohort of patients for Covid vaccine – though supply shortage is an issue

A BLACK Isle medical practice is this week set to begin vaccinating patients in its over-65 age group against Covid.

Fortrose Medical Practice, in common with several others across the county, says that it doesn't yet have enough vaccine to cover all of this group "but will do as many as we can until more supply arrives".

It will be booking patients in descending date of birth order.

It has included a table showing the order in which it will be vaccinating patients according to priorities set out by the Scottish Government.
