NEW advice means NHS Shetland is adjusting how it will deliver vaccines to those in their thirties.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has advised that, where possible, other vaccine should be used instead of AstraZeneca for those aged 30-39.
This means that in Shetland this age group will now be given the Pfizer vaccine for their first dose.

Anyone in this group who has already received the AstraZeneca vaccine will receive the same vaccine for their second dose.
The UK-wide advice from the JCVI changed after a review on extremely rare blood clot-related side effects.
