THE speed of the Covid-19 vaccine rollout in East Lothian has been branded “unacceptable” as the number of people receiving the first dose lags behind other local authority areas. East Lothian MSP Iain Gray (pictured inset) described the slow rollout across the county as “worrying” and called on Scottish Government ministers to “up their game” as the race to protect vulnerable groups continues. The latest figures show that 5,052 people had been vaccinated across the county up to Sunday, January 24 – 5.78 per cent of the county’s population. This placed East Lothian as the third slowest council area in Scotland for vaccines being administered.
