Almost 1.5 million doses of the Covid-19 jabs have been administered across Lanarkshire since the mass vaccination programme began.
A total of 1,442,757 doses have been received in just over a year since the mass vaccination programme first started on February 1, 2021. This includes first and second dose and the booster vaccination. There have also been third doses for those at the highest risk.
Lynsey Sutherland, interim general manager – Vaccination Programme with NHS Lanarkshire said it has been the "most challenging" vaccination programme Lanarkshire has undertaken and that "it's not over".
She added: "This is a massive achievement for everyone involved in the vaccination programme and I would like to thank our staff and our local communities for getting us this far.
"Covid-19 is still here so we want to make sure as many people as possible are protected by being vaccinated.
"We have done everything we can to make it as easy as possible for people to be vaccinated with dedicated clinics for certain age groups and those with learning disabilities or autism, home visits for the housebound, appointments and drop in clinics for flexibility.
"There are still Lanarkshire residents who have not accessed any doses or have gotten either their first or their first and second but not their booster. We would encourage anyone in any of these categories to please either book an appointment at one of our local vaccination clinics or attend one of our drop in clinics.
"Staff at all our vaccination centres are happy to chat with anyone who has concerns and offer them reassurance that the vaccines are safe and offer protection not only to the individual but to their family, friends and work colleagues.
"We have already administered 537,648 first doses, 505,122 second doses and 399,987 booster or third doses."
