A series of drop-in vaccination clinics have been scheduled across Fife to enable those requiring COVID-19 boosters and flu jabs to get vaccinated without the need for an appointment.

All adults in Fife aged 40 and over are now eligible to receive a free COVID-19 booster and flu jab.

Those aged between 40 and 59 years old are not being sent a blue invitation letter and are being asked to book an appointment online using the new national booking portal. While this option remains available, those aged 40 to 59 years old will also have the option of attending a series of new drop-in clinics.
