The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has today published its advice to UK governments on the forthcoming COVID-19 vaccination programme.
Similar to previous winter vaccination programmes, the JCVI’s advice is to offer the vaccine to those at high risk of serious disease and who are therefore most likely to benefit from vaccination.
Scottish Government and Public Health Scotland (PHS) are finalising plans for the roll out of Scotland’s winter vaccination programme, delivered at a local level by Health Boards across the country. Details of how and when eligible people will receive their vaccine will be announced in due course.
