Don’t let your protection fade. It’s important to keep up to date with your vaccines as your level of protection may have faded since your last dose. Getting another vaccine will top up your protection and help prevent you from getting seriously ill or dying.

Overview
The Spring Coronavirus (Covid-19) Vaccine Campaign will run from Monday 31st March to June 30th 2025.
It’s important to take up the vaccine every time you’re offered. Even if your health condition is well managed, you’re still at increased risk.
You’ll receive an invitation to an appointment or information about how to book. If you previously chose to be contacted digitally, you’ll receive a text or email. Otherwise, you’ll receive a letter.

Am I eligible?
Who will be offered the COVID-19 vaccine
Coronavirus can be more serious if you are older or have a weakened immune system.
For spring 2025, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) statement advises that a COVID-19 vaccine should be offered to:
· All those aged 75 years and over
· Residents in care homes for older adults
· Individuals aged 6 months and over who have a weakened immune system.
To be eligible, an individual must turn 75 years of age on or before 30 June 2025 (people born on or before 30 June 1950). Infants must turn 6 months of age on or before 31 March 2025 to be eligible.
A list of eligible health conditions is available on NHS Inform: www.nhsinform.scot/covid19vaccineconditions
If an individual knows that they are eligible for vaccination this spring, either because they have a weakened immune system or are aged 75 years and older (up to and including 30 June 2025), but they have not been sent an appointment or prompt invitation, they can book via the online portal or by calling the national vaccination helpline on 0800 030 8013.
Drop In Clinics
The Mobile Vaccination Bus is a drop in service. This means that there may be busy times and you may have to wait. The mobile clinic can only accommodate 4 vaccinators and a limited supply of vaccine. Please be patient. You may wish to book an appointment at one of our Vaccination Centres instead. You can do this by going to the online booking portal or by calling the National Contact Centre on 0800 030 8013.

Why should I get the COVID-19 vaccine?
The COVID-19 vaccine helps to build up your immunity to coronavirus, which can be a serious or life-threatening illness.
Getting the vaccine can:
- help reduce your risk of getting severe symptoms
- help you recover more quickly if you catch COVID-19
- help reduce your risk of complications or needing treatment in hospital
It’s important to keep up to date with the COVID-19 vaccines you are offered as your level of protection reduces over time. The vaccine is usually offered in the spring and winter.
How can I reschedule my appointment?
If you are unable to attend or cannot get to this location, you can change your appointment online at:
