Scotland became the first nation in the United Kingdom to give a booster coronavirus vaccine to more than half of all adults.
Since the programme was launched earlier this year a total of 2,250,118 doses have been put in arms to people over 18 as of two days ago, December 14.
It means 50.7 per cent of adults in the country have increased protection against the new Omicron variant, which first originated in southern Africa at the end of last month.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced the booster programme was being ramped up across the country in light of the rising cases of the new strain which is believed to be more transmissible.
