The Chief Medical Officer for Scotland has issued an updated letter about the arrangements being made for the COVID-19 vaccination programme.
The letter focuses on:
- a phased approach to vaccinations;
- timescales;
- further information and resources for staff, care homes and the general public; and
- priority groups for the vaccine.
How your health data is used within the COVID Vaccination Programme
Over the next few weeks we will be updating this site to include further information about how your data is handled within the vaccination programme, the organisations involved and your data protection rights.
Key contact points for more information about the vaccination programme:
Members of the public are asked to visit NHS Inform for the most up to date information which can be found here: https://www.nhsinform.scot/covid19vaccine
People can also access NHS inform by calling 0800 030 8013.
You can also find out more by accessing the suite of information leaflets about the vaccine here: https://www.publichealthscotland.scot/downloads/gp-covid-19-resources.
One of the most useful will be for social care workers (including Personal Assistants) which you can find here: Social Care Workers Vaccination Leaflet (Jan 2021)
