Migrant fishermen working in the North East are to be offered Covid vaccinations when they return on-shore.

Set-up by charity the Fishermen's Mission, Skippers can call ahead from next week on a Wednesday and Thursday.

NHS Grampian will facilitate the jags, and the charity estimate well over 300 fishermen who might have otherwise missed out when travelling between Scotland and their home country, will get the vaccine.

Crews can get in touch with the charity to arrange their jags.
