Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether social housing staff will be considered as a priority group for the COVID-19 vaccine, given their frequent interaction with older and vulnerable people.
Answer
Currently there is no sectoral prioritisation of any workers other than frontline health and social care workers. Individual social housing workers will be called forward for vaccination according to their position on the prioritisation list, if they are eligible.
