Review promised after children were given Covid vaccine overdoses
The Daily Record reported that four children aged between five and 11 had been given twice the recommended dose. One child had fallen ill afterwards.
Nicola Sturgeon said the error involved children in the NHS Lanarkshire area.
She told MSPs it was quickly identified and was not harmful.

"Given the unfortunate side effects experienced by these children, and to ensure confidence in the vaccination programme, which is so important, will the first minister order an urgent review of the administration of vaccines to children and, at least, ensure that the different doses for children and adults are colour-coded to avoid future error?" MSP Jackie Baillie asked.
NHS Lanarkshire had apologised.
"There is guidance from the UK Health Security Agency about the steps that should be taken."
