Health bosses have urged anyone who is eligible for the Covid-19 spring booster and has not yet come forward to get vaccinated as a matter of urgency.

The additional jabs have been offered to people aged 75 or over, as well as all those aged over 12 who are immunosuppressed, with clinics operating since early March.

Anyone in these groups who has not yet come forward can book online or call the vaccination helpline to make an appointment.

Dr Emilia Crighton, deputy director for public health at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said: “Covid-19 continues to circulate and it remains crucial that those most at risk of severe effects from the virus protect themselves by getting their spring booster.

“Immunity from the vaccine wanes over time and the booster provides important protection.

“I’d urge anyone aged 75 or over, or anyone aged 12 or over who is severely immunosuppressed, to come forward for their spring booster before the end of June if they haven’t already done so.

“If you have missed yours, you can rearrange it online at NHS Inform or by calling 0800 030 8013.”
