Missed appointments mean wasted vaccines warns health dep't

People are being urged to attend vaccine appointments after an increasing number of no shows.

That's the latest from the Isle of Man Health Department which adds that missed appointments often lead to wasted vaccines.

More than 11,000 islanders have so far received a third jab as part of the government's booster vaccination programme, launched in October.

About 40,000 residents are earmarked to get the jab, which is administered six months after the second dose.

Don't miss the opportunity to get your #COVID19 booster vaccine to top-up your immunity and protect yourself this winter.
