A spring dose of the COVID-19 vaccine is the best way to prevent people from becoming seriously ill from the virus. Even if you had a COVID-19 vaccine in the winter, it’s important to have another dose this spring as your protection may have faded since your last dose. The current vaccination programme runs from 1 April to 30 June 2024.
NHS Scotland recommends you have the spring COVID-19 vaccine if you:
- are aged 75 years and over (born on or before 30 June 1949)
- live in a care home for older adults
- are aged 6 months and over (on or before 31 March 2024) and have a weakened immune system.
If you’re eligible, you’ll be sent information via letter, text or email about your appointment or how to book one. Please wait to be contacted.
You’ll be able to rearrange an appointment online or by calling 0800 030 8013. If rescheduling an appointment for your child who is aged 11 or under, please call 0800 030 8013. It's not possible to use the online booking portal for this age group.
Step-by-step video guides are available to help with booking and rescheduling appointments, as well as updating your communications preference and retrieving your booking information. These can be located at www.nhsinform.scot/springvaccine.
