WINTER VACCINATIONS

All Winter Vaccinations are now carried out by the Vaccination Team outwith Sighthill Red Medical Practice. 

Scotland's winter vaccination programme has started as of the 4th September 2023, with a range of vulnerable groups being offered the vaccine against flu. 

Invitations to book or attend an appointment have already been sent to those eligible for a flu vaccine by post (look out for a white NHS Scotland envelope), or by email/text depending on individual communication preferences. 

Both flu and COVID-19 vaccines will be offered to people most vulnerable to illness and, where possible, will be administered at the same time. 

If you have received an appointment for a Winter Vaccine from the Vaccination Team that is not suitable, please contact the Vaccination Helpline on 0800 030 8013 OR visit the Online Portal , log in with your details and you will be able to reschedule your appointment to a more suitable date, time and location.
