Staggies back Vaccine Drive

We are all very much aware that COVID-19 has had such a profound effect on our local and national setting over the past year. The welcomed news of vaccines has been warmly-received across the world and those vaccines have now arrived in the Highlands.

The club was delighted to be able to assist Dingwall Medical Practice on Saturday by making our car parks available in relation to the COVID Vaccination Drive for over 80s. A big thank you must also go to Highland Council who turned out and gritted the roads and footpaths around the area on a very cold and frosty morning.

Dr Iain Craighead commented “ The clinic was a big success and we have been able to vaccinate the vast majority of our over 80's in one day. Allowing staff to use Ross County car parks and having an empty health centre car park allowed the patients and their relatives to drive right up to the front door on the day”.

The club have committed to assisting the medical practice going forward to allow this very important community priority to be delivered and thanks the NHS and clinic staff for making this happen.

In addition, we would like to encourage everybody to continue supporting the government and NHS in following the relevant protocols and procedures that will help stop the spread of the virus. Stay at home, protect the NHS and Save Lives.
