Two years after the outbreak of Covid, the virus remains prevalent across Scotland and the UK. This means many people will need a booster jab in the autumn to help fight off the virus as the weather gets colder and flu season begins.
NHS Scotland will roll out a booster programme for anyone vulnerable or caring for the vulnerable alongside the annual flu jab. Covid vaccine boosters will be available from this month through community clinics across the country.
As with the initial vaccination scheme, the jab will be offered to those most at risk first before widening out to other eligible groups. While cases of Covid in Scotland have dropped, there are still around 500 cases per day, according to Public Health Scotland.
