Scottish 2023 Spring Booster arrangements

[vivdunstan]

NHS Inform - the Scottish NHS patient portal - now has a Spring Booster 2023 information page. Spring boosters of the Covid vaccine are being given to people 75 and over, in care homes, and with weakened immune systems. The criteria for the latter is quite stringent - it’s not mild immunosuppression. But it will affect many vasculitis patients, like me. And if you had a vaccine booster or prior 3rd primary due to a weakened immune system you should expect to get this booster too. Do not try to book your appointment. Wait to be contacted. In my experience you may also find your appointment shows up on the Scottish appointments website before your blue appointment letter arrives in the post. nhsinform.scot/spring-coron...
