Vaccine

NHS Fife is now asking 16-17 year olds to come forward for first vaccinations at one of its drop in clinics around Fife. 

However if you are in this cohort (group), you will not have an automatic second dose at 8 weeks after this first dose. This is because the JCVI will review further data and evidence before making a decision about the second dose offer for this group and will provide a subsequent update of this advice before second doses are due - normally approximately 12 weeks after the first dose.

A second vaccine dose is likely to be offered later to increase the level of protection and helpp to ensure longer term protection.
