Covid-19 pandemic: Scotland, Wales to offer vaccine to all children 5-11

Scotland's government confirmed on Wednesday that it will offer a coronavirus vaccine to all children ages 5-11, and Wales is doing the same after accepting draft advice from scientists. Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon said officials have taken advice from the UK's vaccination advisory committee, although the committee's recommendation hasn't been officially published yet. Sturgeon's statement came a day after Wales announced a similar plan to immunize younger children against COVID-19. Scotland and Wales are so far the only two parts of the UK that have said they will offer vaccines to the entire 5 to 11 age group. England and Northern Ireland currently offer shots to children under 11 who have medical conditions that mean they are at serious risk of complications from the coronavirus. Sturgeon said officials have begun talking to health authorities about the best way of delivering the vaccines to children. The four parts of the UK have moved at differing paces in administering

Scotland detects 6 Omicron Covid-19 variant cases, UK total at 9

Six cases of the new COVID-19 Omicron variant have been identified in Scotland on Monday, taking the UK's total to nine following three cases detected in England earlier. The Scottish government said four cases have been found in Lanarkshire and two in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area. While all three of England's previously detected cases had a travel link with southern Africa, some of the people identified in Scotland have no travel history and may have caught the potentially highly transmissible variant in the community. "In some of the cases, we are aware that there is no travel history involved. So what that tells us is that there must be a degree of community transmission of this particular strain of the virus," Scotland Deputy First Minister John Swinney told the BBC in reference to the cases detected in Scotland. But the minister reiterated that it is too early to say whether even tougher social distancing norms may be required against what is feared to be a potentially ..

Scotland looks to give fans something to cheer at Euro 2020

Scotland is looking to give its boisterous fans something to really cheer about at the European Championship. Not just a 0-0 draw. Euphoria set in among the Tartan Army after Scotland managed to hold England scoreless against expectations. The streets of Glasgow filled that Friday night with flag-waving supporters hanging out of car windows. Others danced in the streets as if the team had won the tournament. But the result did little to cement Scotland's chances of advancing to the round of 16 at Euro 2020 after the team lost to the Czech Republic 2-0 in its first Group D game. Now, Scotland has one last opportunity to harness the energy of its fans as the team faces Croatia at Hampden Park on Tuesday. Both teams need to win to have any chance of advancing. Scotland won't be the home team on paper, but it most certainly will have a home crowd of about 12,000 urging the players on. "It's great to see that our performance and the point against England brought a lot of confidence an
