Almost a third of younger adults are still unvaccinated despite all over-18s being offered a first dose vaccine appointment by the end of Sunday.
Health Secretary Humza Yousaf said some had re-arranged appointments and would receive the jab shortly.
National clinical director Prof Jason Leitch said last week that uptake of the vaccine among 18-29 year olds had been slower than for other age groups.
It is hoped all adults will have been offered a second dose by 12 September.
