COVID-19 vaccinations in GP and community settings across Helensburgh and Lomond have begun - starting with people aged 80 and over.
NHS vaccination teams began administering the Oxford AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine in the area on Monday.
The first priority group is residents in a care home for older adults and their carers, people aged 80 or over, and front-line health and social care workers.
People in each eligible group will get a letter or phone call from NHS Highland inviting them to go to a local centre for their vaccination and advising them where and when to attend.

The vaccine requires two doses to offer the best possible protection.
Second dose appointments will be scheduled for 12 weeks after the first dose is administered.
Local vaccination centres are located at the two GP practices at Helensburgh Medical Centre, at Garelochhead Medical Centre, Kilcreggan Medical Practice and at Dr Troup & Partner at the Three Villages Hall in Arrochar.
During First Minister's Questions yesterday (Wednesday) Nicola Sturgeon said that more than 190,000 people in Scotland had received their first dose of the vaccine.
Meanwhile the Scottish Government has revealed plans for a possible 24-hour roll-out of the programme which could begin next month.
