“At the moment the vast majority of our staff and students are working from home and we have areas in all our campuses which would be ideal to situate and host such a service.
“We are just very proud that we could be of service at this time and hope it helps the Forth Valley area emerge from the pandemic lockdown as soon as we possibly can.”
Cathie Cowan, NHS FV chief executive, said: “We are very grateful to all the college and local authority teams who have been working with us to make this happen and are looking forward to welcoming everyone for their vaccine at their scheduled appointment time.”
The public are advised not to attend the college without an appointment.
