Spring Covid-19 booster campaign to begin in March

Autumn programme to end on 24 February

A spring Covid-19 booster campaign will get underway next month as the autumn boosters come to a close.

Manx Care has confirmed the autumn programme will end on 24 February, while chief executive Teresa Cope told the healthcare organisation's board meeting a spring campaign will follow, beginning at the end of March.

Medical Director Dr Sree Andole says uptake of the jab among younger age groups has been low, and is encouraging those eligible to take up the offer of a vaccination.
