In Aberdeenshire 128,995 people have now had their first covid-19 vaccination, and 25,173 have had their second jag, according to NHS Grampian today.

Second dose vaccinations for the over 80s are well underway with GP practices organising local pop-up clinics. To date 6,761 of Grampian’s over 80s are now fully vaccinated against covid-19 which represents 53.3% of that group.

NHS Grampian has also begun vaccinating the 75-79 group with second doses and so far, 4,498 are now fully inoculated which is 47.8%.

The most recent group to be invited for vaccination is the over 50s and they have now completed 86.2% of 1st dose vaccinations for the 50-54s and 95.5% of those aged 55 to 59.

The supply of vaccine is sufficient to ensure that they can complete all of the first dose vaccinations for JVCI priority groups 1-9 by mid-April. (That’s adults over 50, those over over 16 who are vulnerable individuals, and those with at risk health conditions.)

NHS Grampian has also been assured there is sufficient supply to administer 2nd dose vaccinations.
