  • Four weeks after first dose of vaccine hospitilisations reduced by 85% (Pfizer) and 94% (AstraZeneca)

    First evidence from the UK's vaccine programme shows a reduction in hospital admissions in Scotland.

    Research led by Public Health Scotland found in the fourth week after the first dose, hospitalisations were reduced by 85% and 94% for the Pfizer and AstraZeneca jabs respectively.

    It is the first sign of the real world impact of vaccination in the UK.

    Figures for England are expected to be released later.

    Among the over 80s, there was an overall 81% reduction in the numbers admitted to hospital.
