Bespoke vaccination hub opens at airport

Thu, 28 Jan 2021

More than 400 people are expected to have recieved their COVID-19 vaccine at the Island's purpose-built mass vaccination centre at Ronaldsway today.

The new vaccination hub has been created alongside the check-in area on the ground floor of the terminal building in a convenient and accessible location with plenty of free parking nearby.

The development provides a bespoke facility to ensure priority groups are vaccinated swiftly, safely and efficiently - in the biggest mass vaccination programme ever seen in the Island.

The hub comes on stream in the fourth week of the Island’s rollout programme, to coincide with the planned expansion of vaccinations for the over-80s. It will operate from Thursday to Sunday initially, in line with the scheduled availability of vaccine on the Island; operating in tandem with the Newlands facility at Noble’s Hospital and the rollout to care home residents Island-wide, it means vaccine is going into arms seven days a week.
