Further call for islanders to get Covid vaccine

Island residents are still being encouraged to come forward for a Covid vaccination.

The call comes ahead of the planned lifting of most testing and isolation regulations from the end of next month (March). 

So far, more than 90% of the eligible population on Island have had two doses of vaccine, while 73% have had a booster.

A Manx government spokesman said vaccinations remain the island's "key defence" against the spread of Covid.

Residents are encouraged to still come forward to receive the #COVID vaccine as #vaccination remains our key defence against the virus and uptake will play a crucial role in ensuring the Island can remove all regulations 👉https://t.co/ZD40snQANo pic.twitter.com/UUyAVSxBdE
