NHS Scotland recommends you get your vaccines as soon as they are offered to you.

Those eligible for the Spring COVID-19 vaccine will be contacted by NHS Scotland via letter, email or text message, depending on their selected communication preference throughout the programme, which runs from April 1, 2025, onwards.

You’re eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine this spring if you are:

  • aged 75 years and over
  • in a care home for older adults
  • over the age of 6 months and have a weakened immune system

Please note that those living within the Western Isles that are house-bound or have medical issues which may prevent them from attending their appointment, should contact the local Vaccination Helpline on 0808 196 8383 to book a home appointment.

It’s important to take up the vaccine every time you’re offered. Even if your health condition is well managed, you’re still at increased risk.

For further information on the Spring COVID-19, Pneumococcal and Shingles vaccinations, visit our Vaccination Services page.

To book an appointment, telephone 0808 196 8383.

Vaccination Helpline

If you have an enquiry about accessing your vaccination (where eligible), or need to amend or cancel your appointment, or require transport support to attend your appointment, please contact the Western Isles Vaccination helpline on 0808 196 8383 or email wi.vaccination@nhs.scot (phoneline open Monday to Friday: 9am-5pm). 

Please Note: If you require a Primary Dose of the COVID vaccine, please phone 0808 196 8383 to make an appointment. These will not be available at scheduled drop-in clinics, unless pre-booked.
