Thousands of Covid-19 vaccinations were administered at Glasgow's Louisa Jordan hospital yesterday.

Last Saturday 5,000 people were given the jab in the course of the day and mass rollout continued this week. 

Pictures show the 65 vaccine stations created to ensure a rapid turnaround.

It comes as First Minister Nicola Sturgeon defended Scotland's rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine on BBC's Andrew Marr show. 

She said: "We took a deliberate decision in line with JCVI advice to focus initially on vaccinating older residents of care homes.”Glasgow Times: Mass vaccination drive by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (Image: Jane Barlow/PA)Mass vaccination drive by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (Image: Jane Barlow/PA)

Ms Sturgeon added:  “I heard Matt Hancock on the programme earlier say that about three quarters of care home residents in England had been vaccinated, in Scotland that figure right now is 95% of care home residents.”

The First Minister said this approach was more “resource intensive” and Scotland was now “rapidly catching up” on vaccinating over-80s in the community.
