Second Vaccination Appointments
It’s really important to get both doses of the Covid-19 vaccination to provide longer term protection. You do not need to do anything to arrange your second dose. In response to the Delta variant which is now circulating across the UK, second doses which have not already been scheduled are being brought forward from 12 weeks to eight weeks across Scotland, where supply allows.
If you have not received details of your second vaccination appointment or you need to change it call the national Covid-19 Vaccination helpline on 0800 030 8013 (8am to 8pm, 7 days a week) or use the Vaccination Journey guide.
Get a Record of your Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccination Status
