Ashford gives update as England starts programme of jabs
It's hoped supplies of the Covid-19 vaccine will be on the Island in the next week.
The first Pfizer jabs are being given to people in England today with 90 year-old grandmother Margaret Keenan from Coventry the first to get the injection.
Health Minister David Ashford says the Isle of Man is having to wait its turn in the NHS supply chain:
