COVID Vaccination: Updates

Further clinics and priority groups

We will contact patients in the Priority groups as we receive information about when further deliveries of the vaccines arrive and how many we will receive in each delivery so we can start planning further clinics. In the meantime, please do not contact the Practice asking about the vaccinations as we are experiencing very high call volumes – you will be contacted by us when it is your turn.

The NHS Highland vaccination team will vaccinate our housebound patients.

Proof of Covid vaccination status

Please do not contact the practice to ask for a Covid vaccination passport or status certificate – we will not be able to provide any standard document.

International certification standards have not yet been agreed. The Scottish Government is working to support the re-opening of international travel once it is safe to do so. They are working with the other UK Nations and with the World Health Organisation to agree on potential future COVID certification requirements for international travel. As part of this, the Scottish Government are developing a technical solution that could allow people to access their Covid vaccination status directly.

We will continue to update you as work on this progresses.

More information about the COVID vaccine

Information on the COVID Vaccine was sent out to all Scottish households by the Scottish Government – you should have had it in a brown envelope delivered by post. The vaccine is the best way to protect yourself from COVID. With high rates of COVID around, it’s more important than ever to stop the spread. Getting your COVID vaccine is one of the most important reasons for leaving your home. The vaccine does not cause COVID. It helps to build up your immunity to the virus, so your body will fight it off more easily if it affects you. This can reduce your risk of developing COVID or, if you do get COVID, it can make the symptoms milder. NHS Scotland will only use a vaccine if it meets the required standards of safety and effectiveness. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has approved COVID vaccines for use in the UK.

If you have any questions or concerns about the COVID vaccine, visit www.nhsinform.scot/covid19vaccine or call 0800 030 8013 (available 8am–8pm, 7 days a week).
