Staff winter vaccines and COVID-19 Boosters
Frontline health and social care workers are eligible for both COVID-19 and flu vaccines, and can now book vaccination appointments online using the national booking portal on NHS Inform.
Appointments are available at local community vaccination clinics across Forth Valley from Monday 5th September 2022, with priority appointments for health & social care staff available that week and week beginning Monday 12th September 2022.
Where possible, the COVID-19 booster jab will be given at the same time as the flu vaccine to those eligible, as evidence shows that administration of both vaccines together is a safe and efficient way to deliver maximum protection over the winter months.
Check which vaccines you’ll be offered
Answer a few questions using the NHS Inform self-help guide to find out if you’re eligible for flu and coronavirus vaccines. Eligibility is based on age, health condition and/or job.
Care Home Staff
Care home residents will be vaccinated by NHS Forth Valley’s Immunisation team who will schedule visits to all local care homes from 5th of September 2022.
Care home staff working on the day of these visits will also have the opportunity to be vaccinated on site.
If this is not possible on the day of visit, care home staff can book a vaccination appointment to attend a local community clinic on the National Booking Portal or by calling the National Vaccination Helpline on 0800 030 8013.
