When will vaccine rollout at care homes be completed?

An MHK wants to hear more specific details about the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines at the Islands care homes.

In a question for written reply in the House of Keys tomorrow, Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper will ask Health and Social Care Minister, David Ashford MHK, what the planned completion date is for jabs being administered at care home facilities across the Island.

The vaccination programme is currently focusing on inoculating frontline healthcare staff, care and nursing home residents as well as the over-80s.

As of yesterday, nearly 6,700 residents had received their first dose whilst just over 1,000 had received their second jab.
