Estimated 91 deaths and 33,000 infections prevented thanks to vaccine, says Chief Minister

It's estimated 91 deaths and 33,000 infections have been prevented on the Isle of Man because of Covid-19 vaccinations.

That's according to Chief Minister Howard Quayle, speaking in today's press conference. 

He confirmed the Island's vaccination team has now administered almost 125,000 vaccine doses - with just under 4,500 second doses to get in arms in the upcoming weeks.

Mr Quayle says at that point the Island will have vaccinated every adult on Island who has come forward, against Covid-19.

He also revealed it's estimated, up to the 23 July 2021 -  60,000 deaths and more than 22 million infections in the UK have also been prevented as a result of the COVID-19 vaccination programme.
