Last updated 10th Feb 2021
Schools across Tayside are closed for kids of key workers as snow continues to cover the region.
Several others in Fife are also shut but both health boards have confirmed vaccination centres in the region are operating.
The Caird Hall facility in Dundee closed early yesterday due to travel concerns.
An NHS Tayside spokesperson said: "Please only attend if it’s safe for you to do so. We would also ask people where possible not to arrive more than five minutes before their appointment time to help ease any congestion.
"What we would really like people to know is that even if they are going to be late for their appointment due to the adverse weather, we will make sure they are vaccinated.
"If you are unable to make it today, please do not worry. We will be back in touch to make another appointment for you. You do not need to contact us.
"Our vaccination teams are working really hard to make sure we can vaccinate everyone today and so they are asking people not to phone in if they cannot attend."
Schools in Perth and Kinross are closed for the week for the February break.
