A Scotland where everybody thrives
Our strategic plan reaffirms our purpose as Scotland’s national public health body; continuing to work to prevent disease, prolong healthy life and promote health and wellbeing across the country.
National respiratory infection and COVID-19 statistics
Each Thursday, we publish the national respiratory infection and COVID-19 statistics which provide comprehensive epidemiological information on respiratory infection activity across Scotland. Between June 2023 to October 2023, PHS will update the interactive dashboard weekly, along with a narrative report published every four weeks. Additional narrative reports will be published if appropriate.
Winter vaccinations
We have information and resources about this winter's flu and COVID-19 vaccination programme.
