Confirmed cases of Covid-19

The vaccination programme
The first Covid-19 vaccinations in Scotland were administered on 8 December.Currently the Pfizer-BioNTech and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines are being given in Scotland, with both requiring two doses.
Older age groups are being prioritised in Scotland’s vaccination programme, in line with the strategy set out by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.

Some younger people have already had the vaccine because they have been prioritised as health or social care workers, or because they have a condition which makes them particularly vulnerable to Covid-19.
The Scottish government’s aim is to offer a first dose of the vaccine to everyone in Scotland aged 16 or over by the end of July.
