Latest cohort to receive Autumn Covid 19 booster jabs

People will receive their invitations by email or letter

Appointments are being sent out to the latest priority group who are due to receive an Autumn booster dose of the Covid 19 vaccination.

The group includes all adults aged over 70 and adults aged between 18 and 69 who are in a high risk group with underlying medical health conditions, which make them more vulnerable to becoming ill as a result of Covid 19.

People in the latest cohort will receive their invitations by email or letter. They can also book and manage their Covid 19 vaccination appointments online, and change the appointments to a different slot time if they need to.

To do this they will need to input their names, date of birth and NHS number, which can be found on any medical letter they may have received from Manx Care or their GP.

The vaccination team is also considering the needs of children with a learning disability who require an Autumn booster, and will make contact with parents and carers, who will all receive their boosters by close of business on October 7th.
