Less than 20% of 2 and 3-year-olds given flu vaccine in 2022

Uptake in Isle of Man less than half across all age groups

Only 19.1-percent of two and three year-olds have been administered their flu vaccines during 2022.

That's less than half by comparison to the UK which sees 39.9-percent of two year-olds and 42.3-percent of three-year-olds given a vaccination.

The figures have been released as part of government's 'surveillance of seasonal respiratory illnesses' report.

Across all ages on the Island, less than half of residents have received a vaccine for flu.
