Coronavirus (COVID-19) and flu vaccinations

On this page

It's strongly recommended you get vaccinated for flu and coronavirus. Both viruses can be serious - evidence shows that COVID-19 vaccine protection fades, and the flu virus changes over time.

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.

Important: Online service for vaccination appointments

NHS Scotland offers an online booking portal to:

  • manage your upcoming vaccination appointments
  • view your vaccination history
  • maintain your preferred contact details - if you select to receive correspondence about your vaccination appointments 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.

Login to the portal or register

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.

Find out how to rearrange or opt-out of your vaccination appointment at NHS inform, including a national helpline number.

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.

The flu vaccine is usually offered between October and March.
