Eligibility
Frontline health and social care staff who have direct face-to-face patient contact are eligible for vaccination against both flu and COVID-19.
If you don’t have direct patient contact, you are still eligible for flu vaccination and may even be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine depending on your own personal circumstances. To find out more about eligibility, please visit: www.nhsinform.scot/winter-vaccines.
Though you may have been vaccinated against these viruses previously, the protection offered can fade over time. Similarly, both the flu and COVID virus change as new variants emerge. It’s vital that you don’t let your protection fade by getting vaccinated against the most common strains of these viruses.
