A THIRD of Scots have been given both doses of a coronavirus vaccine, new figures reveal.
The latest Public Health Scotland statistics show 2,897,975 people have received the first dose of a Covid-19 vaccination and 1,468,296 have received their second dose.
Overall, 33.1% of Scots are thought to have been given both jags.
The daily update also shows another 200 people have contracted Covid-19 in Scotland.
No further deaths were recorded in the past 24 hours among people who tested positive in the previous 28 days, meaning the total under that measurement remains 7661.
However, registry offices are generally closed at weekends.
The new cases has a positivity rate of 1.5%, up from 1.2% the previous day. A total of 227,672 have now tested positive for the virus.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
