Spring vaccination programme for people at risk of respiratory illnesses

RSV and Covid-19 jabs available

More vaccines for people most at risk of serious respiratory illnesses are being offered on the Isle of Man.

Manx Care is delivering its seasonal Covid-19 and RSV vaccination programme.

The health body says whilst both viruses often cause mild symptoms they can lead to severe illness, hospitalisation and complications.

Coronavirus jabs are being offered to people aged 75 and over, residents in care homes and people aged six months and over who have a weakened immune system.

The health body says they will boost protection against more recent variants of the virus.

RSV vaccines are being offered to people aged 75 and over, residents in care home and pregnant women from 28 weeks of pregnancy.

Eligible people will be invited for their vaccinations by Manx Care; you can find out more HERE.
