So far, 3,989,927 people have received the first dose of a Covid-19 vaccination and 3,028,271 have received their second dose.
The figures come as further warnings have been made about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Scotland’s NHS, with one public health expert claiming the backlog of people waiting for care “will get worse before it gets better”.
Jillian Evans, head of health intelligence at NHS Grampian, said the service is facing a “really exceptional situation” with people waiting for care and staff absences.
The Scottish Government has given £12 million of additional funding to accident and emergency departments to help them cope, as the latest weekly figures showed almost a fifth (19.9%) of patients had to wait more than four hours to be dealt with.
