Action to improve public health in Scotland
We’re working with the wider public health system to reduce inequalities and create a Scotland where everybody thrives.
Winter flu and COVID-19 vaccines
Information and resources are available for professionals who are supporting the flu and COVID-19 winter vaccination programme. These aim to aid with enhancing vaccine confidence and equity, as well as raise understanding of the programme.
