Rearrange or opt-out of your coronavirus vaccination appointment

NHS Scotland will contact you about your coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination (jab, injection) appointment when it's your turn.

Rearrange an appointment

Please make every effort to attend your appointment. This allows NHS Scotland to continue to vaccinate everyone as quickly as possible.

However, if you are still unable to attend, or cannot get to the venue you can rearrange your appointment.

You should also rearrange your appointment if you:

• are feeling unwell with symptoms of coronavirus
• have recently tested positive for coronavirus
• have been told by NHS Test and Protect that you are a close contact of someone who has tested positive for coronavirus
• live with someone who has recently tested positive for coronavirus
• live with someone who has symptoms of coronavirus

If you have recently tested positive for coronavirus, even if you have no symptoms, you should wait until 4 weeks after the date you were tested to get the vaccine.

Opting out of getting the vaccine

NHS Scotland strongly recommends you get the coronavirus vaccine when offered it.

However, if you decide to completely opt-out of getting the vaccine, contact your NHS health board using the appropriate contact details in the guide above, and you will be removed from the vaccination programme.

After opting out, you will receive no further invitations to attend vaccination appointments.

If you change your mind after opting-out and want to get the vaccine, phone the appropriate number using the details in the guide.

Missing appointments or lost letters

You should get in touch with NHS Scotland if you think you should have received an invitation to your coronavirus vaccination appointment by now, or if you have lost your invitation letter.
