The vaccine booster rollout continues on the Isle of Man this weekend.

Clinics are being held in the north of the island for anyone who has already been issued with an appointment. 

They get under way at the Ramsey Cottage Hospital between 08:45 and 14:00 on Saturday and Sunday.

Vaccine boosters are currently being offered to people over 50 and those considered at high risk, whose second dose wad given at least six months ago.

Health Minister, Lawrie Hooper said: "Vaccines offer high levels of protection but we know that immunity starts to reduce over time, particularly for older adults and those in at-risk groups. 

"It is vital that those eligible come forward for their booster vaccine to top up their defences against the virus, and also help protect our health services".
