A total of 1,535,562 people (32.1%) have also received follow-up booster shots.
The latest figures come as First Minister Nicola Sturgeon urged the public to take regular lateral flow Covid tests this Christmas in a bid to drive down case numbers.
Revellers have been asked to ensure they are not passing on the virus 'inadvertently' by making sure they are regularly checking their Covid status.
That includes when going shopping or out for dinner or a drink at a pub.
The First Minister said: “Please take a test before you go, and if it is positive, do not go.
"Instead get a PCR test and self-isolate while you wait for the result.
“This way, you are minimising the risk of inadvertently passing the virus on even if you don’t have symptoms.”
