Nicola Sturgeon will give a Covid update today as cases around Scotland rise following the country's move beyond level 0 on August 9.
It will be the First Minister's first Covid briefing since the move, when Scotland axed most major restrictions, maintaining only baseline measures.
The Scottish government's target for offering all adults both doses of the vaccine is fast approaching, with people who are yet to receive the jab encouraged to attend a drop in clinic.
With the vaccine hailed as our way out of the pandemic, the government are closely following the advice of the JCVI regarding who should receive the jag.
