Covid-19 vaccines underway at nursing homes

The rollout of Covid-19 vaccines is now underway at the Island's nursing homes.

Government has shared the moment Ian Watson, a resident at Brookfield Nursing Home in Ramsey, was among the first to receive the jab as part of the next phase of the vaccination programme.

The vaccine team will be visiting homes across the Isle of Man throughout the week and is alongside doses being administered to frontline healthcare staff, care home residents and the over-80s which began earlier this month.

As of yesterday evening, 3,897 vaccines had been carried out.
