Youngsters in Falkirk eligible for a coronavirus vaccine now have until 8pm on Friday June, 11, to register for one.
The deadline has been extended meaning 18 to 29-year-olds in the district have more time to contact the local health board.
It comes amid rises cases of Covid-19 in the area, with Falkirk High School forced to closed after almost 200 staff and pupils contracted the Indian variant last week.
Jillian Taylor, Operational Lead for the Covid-19 vaccination programme in NHS Forth Valley, said: "I'd urge anyone aged between 18 and 29 in the Forth Valley area who has not yet registered to get their appointment details by email or text to do so before the extended deadline of 11 June.
"The registration process is simple, easy and saves time in getting your vaccine appointment."
Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care, Humza Yousaf, said: "The initial response to the registration line by 18 to 29-year-olds has been really encouraging and by extending it further we hope to reach more of this age group.
"It’s especially helpful for students who are registered with a GP at their term time address to get their appointment details by email or text so they don’t miss appointment letters being sent by post."
A survey conducted by the Scottish Government showed that 90 per cent of 18 to 29-year- olds in Scotland will get the Covid-19 vaccine when offered it, or have had it already, with just under seven in ten (69 per cent) eager to get it.
