Pneumococcal Vaccine
The pneumococcal vaccine protects against becoming unwell with pneumococcal infection – which can lead to illnesses including bacterial meningitis and pneumonia.
Everyone over the age of 65 and those aged 2 to 64 with certain health conditions are eligible for the pneumococcal vaccine. Most people over the age of 65 will only need one dose, which will help protect them for life.
We are offering drop in clinics for anyone eligible aged 16 years and over for their pneumococcal vaccination. For dates and sites of when these are available, see below.
For more information on the pneumococcal vaccine and details on who is eligible, visit www.nhsinform.scot/pneumococcalvaccine
Please see our week by week guide on this page.
