A mobile vaccination unit has been deployed in Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) as part of the NHS's spring Covid-19 booster campaign.
The health board aims to protect the most vulnerable, including care home residents, individuals aged 75 and older, and those with compromised immune systems.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is keen to remind people that, despite the warmer weather, the virus has not disappeared.
Dr Emilia Crighton, director of public health at NHSGGC, said: "Even if you feel healthy or your medical condition is well-managed, scientific evidence shows that older people and those with certain underlying conditions are more likely to get seriously ill from a Covid-19 infection.
"Getting vaccinated could mean the difference between a mild illness and a hospital stay."
The mobile vaccination unit will be at Crown Street Retail Park, Glasgow, on April 22, Morrisons Car Park, Greenock, on April 23, Clydebank Shopping Centre on April 24, and Asda Linwood on April 25.
The unit will be open from 10am to 4pm on each of these days.
The launch of this year's campaign comes after more than 10,000 Covid-19 cases were recorded last summer, with more than 4,000 people requiring hospital treatment.
The spring programme started on March 31 and will run until June 30.
People who are eligible will be contacted with their appointment details by letter, email, or text depending on preferences.
For those who are unable to make the date, there is the option to reschedule via the online portal or by calling the national vaccination helpline.
The health board has also confirmed that people within the target groups can attend the mobile vaccination unit without an appointment.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is reminding people that the vaccine offers its strongest protection in the first three months after it's received.
As this protection gradually fades, getting additional doses is important to boost immunity and help keep people safe.
