Dundee covid booster vaccine booking for those aged between 50 and 59 goes live online today

NHS Tayside 's online covid booster booking system goes live today for those aged between 50 ane 59.

Health bosses announced the scheme last week as they urged more people to book their third jab and flu vaccines.

Anyone aged between 50 and 59 can book a jag online from today.

Unpaid carers and anyone over 16 living in an immunosuppressed household can also organise an appointment.

You can check your eligibility for a booster here and you can recover your vaccination user name here.

The move follows an apology issued by NHS Tayside over a booking system “error” that saw people waiting up to 90 minutes for their booster jab.

Earlier this month a group of vaccinations had been scheduled for the same time slots at Montrose Town Hall.

A number of vulnerable people were forced to wait in long queues in bad weather as they waited for their appointment.

A spokesperson for NHS Tayside apologised for the delays.

They said at the time: “The booking system error was resolved quickly and we would like to thank everyone who attended for their patience and apologise for any inconvenience this one-off error caused.”
