The vaccination booster programme would be accelerated but workforce issues were the “biggest constraining factor”, he added.
Booster vaccinations are being extended to all over-18s in Scotland, in line with the UK’s Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommendation to cut the interval between the second and third dose from six to three months.”
