It is the first sign of the real world impact of vaccination in the UK.

Figures for England are expected to be released later.

Among the over 80s, there was an overall 81% reduction in the numbers admitted to hospital.

The researchers did not look at the impact on transmission - whether people who were vaccinated passed it on - or whether immunity waned over time.

The preliminary data from the EAVE II project covers 1.14 million vaccinations given in Scotland between 8 December and 15 February.

The study looked at the numbers being admitted to hospital with Covid among this population and compared it to those admitted who were not vaccinated.

In total, there were just over 8,000 people who ended up in hospital.

80% reduction in hospital admissions is amazing and 90% reduction in deaths

Means come the summer we may only have 1 death or so a day? Which is fantastic.

Looking like the data is suggesting the easing of the lockdown come the end of March

Fed up, I understand children need an education but it clear that the virus spreads when schools are open.

Keep Schools closed and open everything else like pre September 2020 and we can all enjoy life again until the vaccine roll out is complete.

When it comes to this incompetent government, I'm keeping my expectations low. It'll probably be a premature end to the lockdown and we'll be doomed to repeat it all in a few months time.

The roadmap almost sounds too good to be true, but I'm going to remain hopeful and keep my fingers crossed.

[15:41
8 March: Back to school, outdoor socialising with one other person,
care home residents allowed one visitor

The prime minister is setting out four stages of easing lockdown in England.

Here is the first one, which covers new measures coming in on 8 and 29 March.

Remember, all four tests must be met for the steps to go ahead as planned.

Schools

Children and young people of all ages will return to classroom learning
in schools and colleges in England from 8 March, the PM says.

Socialising

You are allowed to meet one other person from outside
your household outdoors for "recreation".

This means that instead of the old rules where you had to be exercising,
you can now just meet up for a coffee, drink or picnic.

Care homes

Care home residents will be allowed to have “one regular indoor visitor”,
but they must wear full PPE and respect social distancing.

The "stay at home" order will remain in place until 29 March, Mr Johnson adds.]
