NHS Scotland is inviting certain groups for another round of Covid vaccinations amid the pandemic's third year.
This will be the fourth shot - or second booster - for some Scots who are called forward.
People who are at high risk of the virus are being prioritised according to guidance from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).
A spring dose is recommended for adults aged 75 and over (or who will turn 75 by June 30), care home residents, and people who are 12 and over who have a weakened immune system.
Eligible people will be invited by NHS Scotland to arrange their appointments.
We've outlined the rollout of fourth doses and more on boosters for teenagers in Scotland here.
Who will be invited for the next jabs in Scotland?
NHS Scotland says it will usually offer another dose of Covid vaccines around six months after your last jab.
Invitations may go out before this to help protect people from the virus, but no sooner than three months since a person's previous dose.
What about boosters for everyone else, including teenagers?
Everyone aged 16 and up is eligible for booster jabs at this point.
Along with some groups of children, eligible teens from 12 to 15 will be contacted by the NHS about a booster from 12 weeks after their second dose.
Although if you live in the health boards of NHS Western Isles or NHS Orkney, you won't need to book an appointment online as local arrangements are in place.
Who is eligible for the booster dose?
The JCVI's recommendations say the following groups should be offered a booster dose:
- Everyone aged 16 years or over
- Older adults living in care homes
- Frontline health and social care workers
- People aged 12 years and over with a severely weakened immune system who have had a third primary dose
- Children and young people aged 12 to 15 years who are at increased risk from coronavirus due to underlying health conditions
- Children and young people aged 12 to 15 years who live with someone with a weakened immune system
What vaccines are being offered?
Adults aged 18 and up will get the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine as a booster.
Children and teenagers from 12 to 17 will only be offered Pfizer.
People with medical reasons that mean they can't have Pfizer or Moderna will be given AstraZeneca.
