Breaking News ! The NHS has revealed that all GP surgeries in West Lothian have now signed up to vaccinate their over 80 patients. NHS Lothian informed The Courier today (January 13) that all such GP medical facilities in the county are now signed up and ready to vaccinate their elderly patients.

Please be patient at this important time.” By February it is hoped that other age groups will begin to get jabs at West Lothian’s mass vaccination centre at Pyramids Business Park in Bathgate.
