Immunisations provide vital protection against illnesses which can be serious or even fatal. When you become eligible for a vaccine, a letter will most likely be sent directly to you (or to parents or carers).
NHS Lothian always aims to make it as easy as possible for you to get the vaccinations you need to stay healthy. For more information on immunisations generally and why these are important, click here for more information on NHS Inform.
