Emergency services were mobilised following reports of a suspicious smell in the centre of Dundee on Friday afternoon.
Three fire engines were called by police to Dundee’s vaccination centre on the junction of Commercial Street and High Street just after 4pm.
Police briefly closed the centre to investigate the source of the smell, however, they determined there was no risk to the public.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “At around 4pm, police received a report of an unusual odour at the vaccination centre in Dundee.
“Emergency services attended to investigate and the vaccination centre was briefly closed.”
The spokesperson confirmed the situation was soon resolved and there was no risk to the public.
An eyewitness said: “There were two fire engines parked outside the vaccination centre at the old Zara.
“People were still going in and out of the vaccination centre so I’m not sure what the incident was linked to.
“I was walking along the street and I heard a third engine come along as well as a fire investigation vehicle.”
A spokesperson for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “We were called by police to assist in an incident at the junction of Commercial Street and High Street in Dundee at 4.11pm.
“Three appliances were sent out, including a hazmat [hazardous material] response, but nothing was found.
“The stop message came back at 6.16pm.”
