Scots over the age of 40 whose second covid vaccine dose is more than eight weeks after their first are being encouraged to seek an earlier slot.
The NHS Inform website has launched a new online tool which allows people to check the status of their second appointment.
Recent advice has recommended bringing forward the second dose from 12 to eight weeks.
Those who have an invitation for a second dose with a 12-week interval will now be able to bring this forward.
The Scottish Government says under-40s will also be able to reschedule their second doses when supplies permit.
As well as the "vaccine journey" tool on the NHS Inform website, the national helpline can be used to reschedule second doses.
