Coronavirus (COVID-19): vaccine deployment plan: update - July 2021
Update to the March 2021 plan, providing an overview of our progress and outlining next steps in the vaccination programme.
Students in Scotland
We are vaccinating university and college students in line with JCVI advice on priority groups, and we continue to work with local health boards and higher and further education institutes to ensure vaccines are accessible for all students.
We strongly encourage all students aged 18 and over awaiting vaccination to register on the self-registration portal available on the NHS Inform website. Registering on the portal will minimise the risk of students missing their paper appointment letters if moving between term-time and home addresses. Anyone can still use the portal if they do not have a Community Health Index (CHI) number, however they will need to contact the COVID-19 Helpline to book an appointment on 0800 030 8013 or visit a drop-in clinic.
In partnership with health boards, and Universities and Colleges Scotland, we developed an FAQ document on COVID-19 vaccinations for international students in Scotland available on the Student Information Scotland website.
