COVID-19 vaccine
In addition to the flu vaccine, some people may also be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine this year. Eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine is based on advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). This guidance is reviewed every year so it’s important to check what vaccines you are eligible for this year.
For more information on the COVID-19 vaccine and to find out if you’re eligible, visit www.nhsinform.scot/wintervaccines
