Scottish Chief Medical Officer update re boosters and 3rd primary vaccines

Here is an update today from the Scottish Chief Medical Officer explaining the plans for both the booster and also the third primary vaccine (not booster) for severely immunosuppressed people. So hopefully Scottish GPs and consultants etc will be a bit clearer about things. I’m happier personally now there seems to be a plan that’s being communicated! I might have preferred the severely immunosuppressed primary vaccine info to be in a separate communique, but maybe wrapped up this way is going to work better.

Thank you for sharing that Viv I had been concerned since the go ahead and press release for more vaccinations had been given that the clarification of a 3rd jab not the overall booster had been lost.Thankfully the vaccination criteria and infrastructure should be in place now and should be pretty much straight forward for those of us who want to stay as Covid safe as is feasible.
