Vaccination bus launching soon

A Covid-19 vaccination bus will soon be roaming the Island.

A mobile vaccination service is being launched, appearing at various locations from later this month. 

The aim is to offer vaccines at key locations, making it easier for people access their vaccine.

Anyone who is aged 12 or over can receive their vaccination in 'Brian the bus.'

Manx Care say the vehicle has been repurposed from an old Patient Transfer bus, originally donated by Friends of Ramsey Cottage Hospital.

The first sessions will be held next Thursday at Manx Telecom HQ at the Business Park.
