Final opportunities for COVID vaccination for children

With the offer of a primary (first or second) dose of the COVID vaccine for those who are not at higher risk of severe coronavirus closing on June 30, NHS Western Isles is providing some final opportunities for young people aged between five and 11 to attend for vaccination before that date.

After June 30, only those at higher risk of severe coronavirus will be eligible for COVID vaccination.

If anyone would like their child vaccinated (first or second dose) they can call 0808 196 8383 or email wi.covidvax@nhs.scot to book an appointment.

For those with children who are ‘at risk’ and remain eligible for vaccination after June 30, appointments are being issued to those eligible. It would be appreciated if anyone who will not be attending for their appointments could let us know as soon as possible so that the appointment slot can be offered to someone else. Letting us know that you do not wish to attend for vaccination will also ensure that you are not sent repeat invitations.
