Migrant fishermen working on boats in the north-east will be able to get Covid-19 vaccines from next week. The majority of the men come from the Philippines, Ghana, Sri Lanka and Indonesia, and spend up to a year at a time working in Scottish waters catching fish. There are some 300 such migrant fishermen currently at work on boats across the north-east, with a large number of them based in Peterhead and Fraserburgh. While their Scottish counterparts have been receiving their jabs since the rollout began, it was feared these migrant workers could slip through the net.
