Scots could be asked to get a fourth coronavirus vaccine over the "next few years" as immunity from the deadly virus wanes. National Clinical Director Jason Leitch revealed that research will have to be conducted into when the booster vaccine programme will have to be rolled out again.
Earlier this month Israel announced it was going to give its citizens who are over 50 and have a pre-existing condition a fourth dose of the jab amid concerns over Omicron.
Scots are currently being urged to come forward for their booster vaccine as the rapidly spreading Omicron variant takes hold across the country.
Vaccination centres are set to close later today and won't reopen until December 27, however testing sites will continue to stay open
