coronavirus vaccine. Scottish Government chiefs have said today that the first doses have now reached a massive two thirds of the adult population as of last night.
Health bosses are moving through the programme to vaccinate those aged 40 to 49 years old and more than 50% of this age group having come forward so far.
Next up will be those in their 30s who will be offered an alternative to the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine after health complaints from some younger people about the jab.The alternative will be offered 'when it is appropriate to do so', the Scottish Government said in a statement.Some 1,599,519 have received their second dose which offers greater and longer lasting protection against the virus.Nataliya Dasiukevich from Milngavie.
