All vaccinations and immunisation (including for travelling) for Edinburgh and the Lothians are now being delivered by NHS Lothian and the four local health and social care partnerships, rather than GP practices. For more information on this please click here.
Immunisations provide vital protection to you and your family against illnesses which can be serious or even fatal. When you become eligible for a vaccination, a letter will most likely be sent directly to you (or to parents or carers).
If you or a family member has missed a vaccination, or all of the necessary doses, you should try to arrange this as soon as possible. Below are details of the vaccinations available and how to access these.
NHS Lothian always aims to make it as easy as possible for you to get the vaccinations you need to stay healthy. For more information on immunisations generally and why these are important, you can visit NHS Inform.
