Scottish Labour set government ‘vaccine challenge’ as numbers trail rest of Britain

SCOTTISH Labour has set the government a vaccine challenge as Scotland trails the rest of Britain in the number of residents who have been jabbed.

Opposition MSPs have said the Scottish government must commit to providing everyone over 40 with their second dose of the Covid vaccine and everyone over 18 with their first dose by the next review of restrictions on June 28.

Scottish Labour has said that only by acting quickly and decisively can the Scottish government contain the rising case numbers and bring Scotland’s vaccination programme up to speed.
