Vaccinations and immunisations

COVID- 19 Spring Vaccine UPDATE

NHS Scotland will contact you in spring 2025 if you’re eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. Please wait to be contacted.

You’re eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine this spring if you are:

  • aged 75 years and over
  • in a care home for older adults
  • over the age of 6 months and have a weakened immune system

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.

Any Queries please go to NHS Inform – Covid 19 Spring 2025 or contact NHS Highland Service Delivery Centre on 0800 0320 339.
