Younger Scots can now register for their first dose of the coronavirus jab as NHS Scotland’s mass vaccination rollout continues.
All adults aged 18 to 29-years-old across the country can enter in their contact details for the vaccine over on the NHS website.
The online form, which takes between five and 10 minutes to complete, is there for those who have not yet received their first dose.
People seeking to register for the vaccine via the form must be registered to a GP in Scotland. However, those who do not have a GP in this country can use the vaccine helpline to register their details.
Scots in Orkney, Sheltand or the Western isles do not need to get in touch.
NHS Scotland is in the process of getting touch with Scots aged 30 and over about their jabs and they have been urged to wait for their letter arriving in the post.
Almost 3.1m Scots have now received their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine, according to the latest Scottish Government data.
Around 1.8m have also been given their second dose now in Scotland.
It is hoped that all Scots adults will be invited to get their first dose of the vaccine by July this year.
Yesterday, it was revealed that the vaccines being rolled out in Scotland are almost 90% effective against the April 02 variant (which is also referred to as the so-called Indian variant).
The mutant strain is believed to be driving a recent rise in the number of infections in the south side of Glasgow - which is the only part of Scotland still in level three lockdown.
Scottish Health Secretary Humza Yousaf said that the city could follow the rest of the mainland into level two if the number of people in intensive care with Covid does not rise.
A move to level two would pave the way for Glaswegians to meet their loved ones inside their homes for the first time in almost nine months.
