Covid Booster vaccination drop-in clinics

The Scottish Borders Health and Social Care team are continuing to expand the availability of Covid booster appointments and drop in clinics across the Borders. Getting a booster is really easy, important and provides significantly more protection for you and those you come into contact with from the new Omicron variant.

The sites currently offering drop in appointments are listed  below. Availability for drop-in clinics is being added to all the time and the most up to date information is available by following this link: http://www.nhsborders.scot.nhs.uk/patients-and-visitors/covi…

If you would prefer, you can also pre-book an appointment: further information is available from this link: https://www.nhsinform.scot/covid-19-vaccine/the-vaccines/cor…

BOOKABLE APPOINTMENTS
Everyone aged 18 and over can now book a scheduled appointment here on the national booking portal.

DROP-IN CLINCS
Alternatively, if you are 18 and over and have not yet booked your booster appointment, you can drop in to one of the clinics noted below as long as 12 weeks has passed since your second dose.

The following clinics are drop-in only for the Covid-19 vaccine (flu vaccines will not be offered at these clinics)

• First doses if you are aged 12 or over
• Second doses if you are aged 18 or over and had your first vaccination dose at least 8 weeks ago or if you are aged 16-17 years old and had your first vaccination dose at least 12 weeks ago
