Access to 900,000 vaccine doses by the end of January - so almost enough for 1 in 5 of the population if done on a 1 initial dose per person basis...
/Nicola Sturgeon says well over 100,000 people have now received their first Covid vaccine, with the first doses of the Astra Zeneca vaccine being administered today.
The first minister expects over 900,000 vaccine doses - split roughly equally between the Pfizer and Astra Zeneca vaccines - to be administered by the end of January, but hopes that figure can be increased.
Some of the Astra Zeneca portion will be available only in the last week of January, she says.
"We do not yet have certainty on supply schedules beyond January but will keep Parliament updated as these become firmer," she adds.
The current expectation is that by early May everyone over 50, and people under 50 with specific underlying conditions, will have received at least their first dose of vaccine, which comprises more than 2.5 million people, Ms Sturgeon says.
Once everyone on the priority list has been vaccinated, we will start vaccinating the rest of the population, she adds.
