Dear Mr Matchet ,
Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
I refer to your e-mail dated 23 August 2021, requesting:
“1) Please provide a list of each vaccination centre used by the health board for the rollout
of the Covid-19 vaccine since March 2020. This should not include GP surgeries but
should include so-called 'mass vaccination' centres.
2) For each centre, please provide the date the centre opened for appointments and, if it
has since closed, the last date it was open for appointments.
2a) Please also provide the postcode for the centre.
3) Please provide a list of every Covid-19 testing centre in the health board since March
2020. For clarity, this should include mass testing centres.
4) For each centre, please provide the date the centre opened for appointments and, if
closed, the last date it was open for appointments
4a) Please also provide the postcode for the centre.”
I can now respond as follows:
1) Please provide a list of each vaccination centre used by the health board for the
rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine since March 2020. This should not include GP
surgeries but should include so-called 'mass vaccination' centres. AND
2) For each centre, please provide the date the centre opened for appointments and,
if it has since closed, the last date it was open for appointments.
2a) Please also provide the postcode for the centre.
In relation to both the above questions please see the information below.

Moray Vaccinations have been carried out at the Fiona Elcock Vaccination Centre, Edgar
Road, Elgin IV30 6RP. This centre opened late December 2020 and continues to provide
COVID19 vaccinations.
In Aberdeenshire Alford Community Campus AB33 8TY and El on Meadows Sports Centre
AB41 9QJ COVID-19 Vaccination centres were opened in December 2020 and closed in
early February 2021, in order to concentrate both vaccine and immunising staff to the main
mass vaccination centres.
In Aberdeen City the P&J Live Arena at The Event Complex Aberdeen AB21 9FX had
been used as a mass vaccination centre since December 2020 and closed recently, at the
beginning of September 2021.
There have been a number of temporary "pop up" vaccination clinics in Grampian, these
have mainly lasted for only a day and were run to meet inequality of access issues,
mitigate potential outbreak risks, or to address low vaccination uptake rates in certain "cold
spot" areas.
These have included Mobile clinics for the homeless population, a vaccination clinic held
at the permanent travel ers site at Clinterty Aberdeen, Clinics at The Healthy Hoose Manor
Avenue, Aberdeen AB16 7UR, V in the park at Hazelhead Park Cafe, in house
vaccinations at fish and food processing plants in Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen City and
Moray, Pittodrie footbal stadium prior to football matches and a pop up clinic in a church
where vaccine hesitancy was identified within the congregation.
Temporary COVID-19 vaccination Clinics are also planned for University of Aberdeen and
Robert Gordon University students, when students return to the universities later in
September 2021.
Below is the list of Aberdeenshire Current COVID 19 vaccination centres, which have been
