NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde has announced 15 Drop-in and Chat vaccination clinics to take place in the coming weeks, with the first on Sunday the 8th of February 2026.
These informal sessions are designed to give people the chance to speak directly with Immunisation Nurses, whether they have questions about eligibility, underlying health conditions, or are supporting someone with additional needs.
Those eligible are also able to get their Shingles, Pneumococcal or Flu Vaccination on the day if they choose to do so.
The clinics follow the success of last year’s sessions which seen around 40 to 50 people be vaccinated at each drop-in.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Director of Public Health, Dr Emilia Crighton said:
“People who drop-in mostly ask about their existing medications or conditions, misplaced appointment times, or vaccinations they’ve had previously. But they can ask anything vaccine related!
“Our goal is to breakdown as many barriers as possible when it comes to preventative healthcare. These clinics offer a safe space for anyone to come and do that.
“Everyone is welcome. You may have a friend or family member that you want to ask about. Perhaps you think they’re eligible but you’re unsure or maybe you’re not sure what the virus you’re protecting against is, its symptoms and how it could impact you. We’re happy to help you.”
The first clinic will run this weekend (Sunday, 8th February 2026). See a list of all clinics below. All clinics will be open from 9am – 7pm.

About Shingles
Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is an infection of a nerve and the skin around it. It’s caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox. The main symptom of shingles is pain, followed by a rash that develops into itchy blisters. These look like chickenpox.
Sometimes shingles causes symptoms that develop a few days before the painful rash. This includes symptoms like a headache, burning, tingling, numbness or itchiness of the skin in the affected area, a feeling of being generally unwell, and a high temperature (fever).
About Pneumococcal
The pneumococcal vaccine provides some protection against illnesses caused by pneumococcal bacteria.
Pneumococcal bacteria cause pneumococcal infection. They can cause serious illnesses like pneumonia and bacterial meningitis. They can also cause other conditions like severe ear infections.
You have a higher change of becoming unwell with pneumococcal infection if you’re:
- aged 65 or over
- have certain health conditions
Getting the vaccine is the best way to help protect yourself against infections caused by pneumococcal bacteria.
