Coronavirus in Scotland: new interactive map shows vaccination rates across the country
The latest data was released by Public Health Scotland and is based solely on the number of people who had received their first dose of the vaccine before January 24, 2021, not on those who had received both doses of the coronavirus vaccine.
Na h-Eileanan Siar is technically top of the list with the highest vaccination rate in terms of the number of people vaccinated per population, with 15.86 per cent having received their first dose.

3,564 people have been vaccinated in this area to date.
Glasgow City has the highest overall number of people vaccinated, with 35,918 residents having received their first dose.
Because of its size, this is only 6.75 per cent of the overall population of Glasgow City, which makes it number 25 out of 32 council areas on the vaccination rates list.
North Lanarkshire has the second highest total number, with 21,234 having received their first dose of the vaccine, but again because of a larger population, this is only 7.62 of the overall population.
