THE SPRING 2025 COVID-19 VACCINATION PROGRAMME STARTS MONDAY 31ST MARCH - MONDAY 30TH JUNE 2025.
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 becoming seriously ill. Last summer, there were over 10,000 reported cases of COVID-19 in Scotland and more than 4,000 people hospitalised. 42% of those were aged 75 years and over.
Getting vaccinated is the safest and most effective way to protect yourself against COVID-19 circulating this spring.
The following groups are eligible for the spring COVID-19 vaccine
- 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.
A list of eligible health conditions is available on NHS Inform: www.nhsinform.scot/covid19vaccineconditions
Eligible individuals will receive their appointment details, or a prompt inviting them to book an appointment, either by letter or email.
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 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.
