Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many people had flu vaccination appointments cancelled due to the re-prioritisation of the COVID-19 booster vaccine.
Answer
No appointments were cancelled as a result of the de-prioritisation of the flu programme. Appointments for co-administration of vaccines were then repurposed as the COVID-19 vaccine was still being offered. All scheduled flu appointments, especially those for the protection of more at risk individuals were administered.
