Appointments

NHS Scotland will contact people who are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine.

The postal invites will arrive in white envelopes with clear NHS Scotland branding.

People with a digital preference will receive their vaccine appointment or prompt by text and/or email.

People should not try to book an appointment until they've received an invite from NHS Scotland.

Learn more about appointments on NHS inform (external website).

What to do if someone has not received any COVID-19 vaccinations

If you have not yet come forward for any COVID-19 vaccines or received a COVID-19 vaccination invitation letter, and you are 12 years or over, you can register online for an appointment.

You need to be registered with a GP practice to use this service.

If you aren't registered with a GP, you can phone the national vaccination helpline on 0800 030 8013.

Carers, children, translators and service dogs

If required, people may bring to their appointments:

  • a carer
  • a sighted guide 
  • a translator
  • a guide dog or hearing dog  

Parents and carers can bring their children if childcare is not available.

Information on how to request support with interpretation at vaccine appointments is available on NHS inform (external website).
