Dr Emma Fletcher, Director of Public Health, said, “Unfortunately, over the past few days, we have seen another sharp increase in the number of new cases of COVID-19 in Dundee and across Tayside.
“We know that getting vaccinated is our best way out of the pandemic and I would strongly recommend that everyone gets the vaccine when offered.
“From tomorrow, we are running drop-in vaccination clinics across Tayside for people aged 18 to 29. So, please come along and get the jab to protect yourself, your loved ones and your community.”
