Covid booster jab drop in centres Glasgow: where to get third vaccine near me - without booking an appointment

What’s happening? As the spread of Omicron continues, the advice is to get a Covid-19 vaccine booster. While Omicron reportedly causes less severe illness than other Covid-19 variants, doctors and nurses have warned that hospitals in the area are nearing capacity, and told people not to get complacent.

Dr Umberto Fazzi, consultant surgeon at QEUH, said: “You may be hearing in the press that Omicron might result in less severe illness.

“However, this doesn’t mean you won’t need hospital treatment and so please make sure you’ve had your vaccines and been boosted.”

According to the latest data from Public Health Scotland, every district in Glasgow is in the highest Covid-19 case rate bracket.

Appointments for boosters are available to book online, but you can also visit walk-in centres in Glasgow.

As we are heading into winter, a new booster roll out is in progress.

Who is eligible for the autumn booster?

The autumn booster will follow a similar rollout structure to previous covid vaccines in that the most vulnerable will be prioritised, as well as care home staff.

The following groups are eligible:

• Adults aged over 50
• People aged 5 - 49 years old with health conditions that put them at risk (including pregnant women)
• Care home staff
• Frontline health and social care workers
• Carers aged 16 - 49
• Household contacts of people with weakened immune systems
