Over-75s in Scotland urged to get Covid booster jab as cases rise

The spring booster jab is available until 30 June to over-75s and people with underlying conditions

The spring booster jab is available until 30 June to everyone in the older age group and people over 12 if they have a weakened immune system. Scottish Health Secretary Humza Yousaf said: "We are seeing higher numbers of infections across our communities at the moment which is why booster vaccination is needed to maintain the best protection for those at highest risk of severe effects from the virus.

"Almost 90% of over-75s and around two thirds of those who are immunosuppressed have already taken a spring booster.
