Vaccination programme continues today

More than 1,000 Manx residents received jab in first week of rollout

The Island's coronavirus vaccination programme is due to continue today.

The rollout got underway last Monday, with 1,041 Manx residents receiving the jab over a three-day period.

No vaccines have been administered since Wednesday, after the first tray of the Pfizer BioNtech injection was completed.

The first batch of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine also arrived on Island last week, but paperwork to allow the use of that jab here to go ahead is yet to be completed.
