Covid spring booster drop-ins available in Aberdeenshire, Moray and Aberdeen

Elderly people with compromised immune system are eligible for an additional Covid jab.

Spring Covid booster
Drop-in sessions for a spring Covid booster will be available in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray.

Vulnerable people with weak immune system across the north-east are encouraged to get a Covid spring booster.

NHS Grampian is holding drop-in sessions at vaccination centres in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray for those eligible.

The additional jab is currently being offered to elderly people aged over 75 and anyone over the age of five, who is considered to be at higher risk of contracting Covid.

NHS Grampian has warned this may not apply to all people with a long-term or chronic condition.

Those who are unsure whether they are eligible or not can ask staff for further guidance at the assigned vaccination centres.

In Aberdeen, drop-in sessions will be available at the Bridge of Don clinic while the Airyhall Clinic will only be accepting patients with an appointment.

Moderna is looking for volunteers in Aberdeen and the north-east to take part in a trial for a new Omicron-specific Covid vaccine.

The Aberdeen Vaccination Centre at the former John Lewis building will close next Sunday and be relocated to the Bon Accord Centre on June 19.
