Covid-19 vaccine bus heading to Ibrox and Celtic Park
Last updated 22nd Jul 2021
A Covid-19 vaccination bus will run drop-in clinics outside Celtic Park, Ibrox and Hampden.
It will offer Moderna jags to anyone aged 18 to 39 who has not yet had a first dose, or has waited more than eight weeks for a second.
AstraZeneca is also available for over 40s.
It will be available at:
• Mon 26th July – Celtic Park, London Road: 10am – 6pm
• Tues 27th July – Ibrox, 50 Edmiston Drive, next to Copland Road: 10am – 6pm
• Wednesday 28th July – Hampden Park, Letherby Drive: 10am – 6pm
Rangers’ Managing Director, Stewart Robertson, said: “As a club we are delighted to have a drop-in clinic at Ibrox and to be able to support the on-going vaccination effort.
“Being able to vaccinate as many people as possible is allowing us to return to a more normal day-to-day life, as well as welcome some fans back into the stadium on a matchday.
“Many people have worked tirelessly to ensure vaccines are available at ease and we are proud to play a small part in supporting these efforts.”
Health Secretary, Humza Yousaf, said: “I’d like to thank Rangers, Celtic and Hampden Park for supporting the national vaccination programme by hosting these drop-in clinics. It’s vital that we get as many people vaccinated as possible, and we know that this mobile unit, operated by the Scottish Ambulance Service, has been popular. I’d encourage anyone not yet vaccinated, or who had their first dose more than eight weeks ago, to go along to these if it’s convenient.”
Emilia Crighton, Deputy Director for Public Health at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said: “These venues have played a huge role in Glasgow’s history over the years and hold a special place in many people’s hearts.
“We’d all like to see them being used back at full capacity once again, and the key way to get there is by ensuring as many people get vaccinated as possible. This is why it’s so important that the public continues to come forward to roll up their sleeves.”
