MHK to query vaccines for those with learning disabilities

Will those with learning disabilities form part of the priority groups for Covid-19 vaccinations?

Douglas South MHK Paul Quine will put that question to Health and Social Care Minister, David Ashford MHK, when the House of Keys meets again next week.

Currently, vaccines are being rolled out to frontline healthcare staff, care home residents, nursing home residents and the over-80s either at the Newlands Ward at Noble's Hospital or the Airport Vaccine Hub which opened on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Mr Quine's query will be discussed when MHK's convene for the next Keys sitting taking place next Tuesday (February 2) from 10am.
