Public Health Scotland, in collaboration with the Scottish Government and NHS boards, is finalising plans for the spring 2027 COVID-19 vaccination programme, following advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).

The JCVI has recommended that individuals eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination this spring include all those aged 75 years and over, residents in care homes for older adults, and individuals aged 6 months and over with a weakened immune system.
To qualify for the vaccination, individuals must be 75 years of age on or before 30 June 2027. Infants are eligible if they turn 6 months of age on or before 31 March 2027. The eligibility criteria for the spring 2027 programme remain the same as for spring 2026.
The announcement details the rollout strategy for the upcoming vaccination season, aiming to protect vulnerable groups against COVID-19.
