Nicola Sturgeon noted that 98% of all care home residents have HAD the vaccine not 'been offered it' which is the words that England used to describe a lower number.

Scottish Vaccinations Update:
575, 897 first dose vaccinations - that is just 9628 in the day if my sums are right. Very low.
Nicola Sturgeon says she has asked her teams to find out if there is a way to speed up Sunday numbers which dip each week. But this seems the lowest so far even on a Sunday.
She is getting quite a bit of flack from journalists saying NW England is already vaccinating under 70s. Why are Scotland behind.
Because it is very haphazard.My mum hasn’t been vaccinated yet in NW and neither have my in laws- all 70-75.

She can ask but there is no obligation to agree the company I work for won'tThink she can asked to be furloughed though as has child care issues
My in laws, 70-75 in NW (Warrington) have been jabbed, a week last Saturday.My mum hasn’t been vaccinated yet in NW and neither have my in laws- all 70-75.
