Island residents will be offered the new Moderna Covid vaccine this autumn.
The new vaccine - which targets two variants of the virus, will be offered to those eligible, following advice from the UK's Joint Commission of Vaccination and Immunisation.
It targets the original strain and the newer Omicron variant.
Health Minister Lawrie Hooper says the vaccine will increase the Island's overall protection against the virus and help prevent any added pressure on key services.
