130,000 vaccines confirmed for Island

130,000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine have been confirmed for the Island.

That's according to DHSC Interim Chief Executive, Kathryn Magson, as government has provided more details about how the jab will be rolled out across the Island.

Meanwhile, Director of Public Health Dr Henrietta Ewart has confirmed the vaccine will be delivered in two doses which will be 21 days apart.

As previously reported, care home residents and their carers will be the first to receive it.

However, she adds they don't know yet whether it will be a one-off jab residents will have to take or something which will have to be done on an annual basis.
