Covid Scotland: Scottish Government under pressure to 'reach out' to young people on vaccines as incentives suggested

The Scottish Government is under pressure to further ‘reach out’ to young people in a bid to encourage vaccine take-up.

Just 70 per cent of 18 to 29-year-olds have received a vaccine, despite jags being available to all adults.

Coverage in age groups over 55 is 100 per cent.

The National Union of Students said it was “particularly concerned” about the risk of Covid spread among unvaccinated young people entering student accommodation when the autumn term starts.
