Rowan Paterson took to social media to share his experience.

He said: "Crazy queues at the Grand Central Mosque in Glasgow today. 1.5 hour wait to get my booster but absolutely worth it. Vaccinators were lovely and are doing a great job under extreme pressure."

This comes after Humza Yousaf took to Twitter this morning to encourage people to book their booster shots and shared an update on how the rollout is going.

Booster rollout going well with over 50% of over 18s having had their Booster. But just off a call with my vaccines team, and there is still capacity in the system. We have the vaccinators and more clinics being opened regularly, so plz book your Booster!https://t.co/Jes096bl2e
