Five to 11 year olds in Stirling will soon be able to receive a Covid jag after ministers approved the move on health advice.
The latest step was confirmed yesterday after the Scottish Government accepted recommendations from the Joint Committee for Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), which said the move could help protect young children in a future outbreak.
It follows the green light being given for children aged 12 and over to receive the vaccine in September last year in response to surging case rates in schools across the country.
