Information and advice on COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Dose
We strongly advise that everyone over the age of 12, living with HIV, take full courses of the COVID vaccine.
NHS Scotland has confirmed that most people with HIV should now have been given at least two doses of a COVID vaccine and offered either a third dose or a booster dose. Everyone over the age of 12 will be offered an appointment for another COVID vaccine booster dose along with the seasonal 'flu vaccine this autumn 2023.
It is recommended that everyone with HIV have a booster dose this winter of 2023. CLICK for more information.
