To help avoid overcrowding and queues please try to avoid arriving for your appointment early and attend on your own, where possible. You should also wear loose fitting clothes to allow staff to administer the vaccine to your upper arm.
If you have any problems getting to your appointment please let us know in advance by emailing fv.vaccinationenquiries@nhs.scot or calling 0800 130 3120 during normal office hours.
What should I do if I am not registered with a GP?
All adults in Scotland are included in the NHS Scotland Covid-19 vaccination programme, including asylum seekers and refugees, people who are currently homeless and members of travelling communities.
Most people will receive an invite because they are registered with a GP practice however if you are not registered with a GP you can contact the National Covid-19 Vaccination Helpline on 0800 030 8013 and they will arrange for you to be allocated a CHI number (a unique NHS number given to all patients in Scotland) so that you can receive an appointment with your local Health Board.
Get a record of your Covid-19 Vaccination Status
You can access your COVID Status through the free NHS Scotland Covid Status app on a mobile device. For example, a smartphone.
You can also download or request a copy of your vaccination status online or by phoning the COVID Status Helpline on 0808 196 8565.
Those aged 12 to 17 can only download or request a copy online or via the helpline. They cannot use the app.
