Vaccination hubs cost approx £373,500

Establishing both Vaccine Hubs on Island cost approximately £373,500.

The figure was revealed by Health Minister David Ashford following a question in Tynwald this week.

MLC Kate Lord-Brennan asked the total cost and how many people have been vaccinated at either Chester Street or the Airport hub.

Mr Ashford said although his department can't povide a full answer - due to final costs not yet being established - it's roughly just under £374,000.

This doesn't however include staffing costs - since both hubs opened in 2021 - 17,631 people have been vaccinated at Chester St and 9,866 at the Airport.
