EAST Lothian Community Hospital is again being used as a Covid-19 vaccine drop-in centre.
People over the age of 18 can visit the Haddington hospital either today (Saturday 3 July) or tomorrow (Sunday 4 July).
The hospital will be open as a drop-in centre from 8.30am to 12.30pm and from 1.30pm to 3.30pm both days for anyone over the age of 18.
Anyone attending needs to have not received their first dose, or it has been more than eight weeks since the first dose.
Almost 1 in 3 people with the virus don’t realise they have it and could be passing it on, especially to younger people who have not yet had the vaccine. With cases of the virus continuing to rise in East Lothian, a number of testing options continue to be in place locally for people who don’t have symptoms – a fever, cough, or loss or change of smell.
People with NO COVID-19 symptoms can get tested at the Mobile testing units operating at Dunbar Leisure Pool from 10am-6pm on the following dates:
Friday, 18 June, Saturday 19 June, and Monday 21 June to Saturday 26 June

Please remember, COVID-19 doesn’t take a break and the risks of infection remain. An infected person releases particles into the air when breathing, coughing or speaking – the risk of infection is greater indoors.
Meet outside where possible – The risk of infection is reduced as the air dilutes the particles and moves them away from others.
If other people (workers, or friends / family) are coming in to your home,open windows or vents in that room – Open windows, doors and vents before, during and after visits at home. This removes infected particles from the air.
Let fresh air indoors – Letting fresh air indoors regularly throughout the day will dilute any infected particles and reduce the infection risk.
Avoid recirculating air – Avoid using ventilation systems which only recycle used air. Make sure that fresh air is introduced to all spaces.
