Important: Online service for vaccination appointments

NHS Scotland offers an online booking portal to:

manage your upcoming flu and COVID-19 vaccination appointments
view your vaccination history
maintain your preferred contact details - if you select to receive correspondence about your COVID-19 and flu vaccines by email or SMS in future, then you'll no longer receive letters with this information

Daytime appointments only (usually between 9am and 4pm) - evening appointments are not available.

Appointments on small islands in Argyll and Bute should be booked directly with the local GP practice instead of using the portal.

Reschedule your vaccine appointment if you feel very unwell - for example if you have a fever, vomiting or diarrhoea. You should not attend an appointment if you think you might be infectious to others.

Important: Help by phone or email

When leaving a message by phone or email, please include your name and address (including postcode). One of the team will get back to you as soon as possible. Leave one message only as this will help our team to get back to everyone quickly.

Important: The COVID-19 vaccine

Vaccination is still the best way of protecting yourself against severe COVID-19 illness. The vaccine can reduce your risk of developing serious COVID-19 and make your symptoms milder if you do get it.

Find out more about the COVID-19 vaccine at NHS inform.

Important: The flu vaccine

The flu vaccine gives you the best possible protection against flu viruses likely to be circulating during the winter season. The vaccine protects people around you who are more at risk of serious flu illness, like babies and young children, older people and people with health conditions.
