A third vaccine against COVID-19 will be rolled out as part of the Island's vaccination programme next month.
A first dose of Moderna vaccine will be offered to residents aged under 40 at a clinic on 14 June, ensuring further members of the community are protected against serious illness caused by the virus. The session will also be open to people who have travelled to the Island having had their first dose of Moderna in the UK - who will be invited to have their second jab here.
The following day (15 June) an AstraZeneca clinic will be held for all over-40s who have recently registered and are awaiting their first dose vaccination, with the exception of those who cannot receive the vaccine for medical reasons.
Second dose vaccinations have ramped-up this week, with a focus on completing the course for those whose two jabs were scheduled with a 10 week interval. More than 1000 doses are being delivered daily at the Chester Street hub in Douglas between Monday and Friday this week (25-28 May) with 400 people booked in each day from Friday to Sunday at the Airport.
Overall, well over 25,000 second doses have now been given, as confidence and take-up of the vaccines continues to be extremely positive. After this week, the next set of second doses are scheduled to start on 16 June in line with booked appointments and supplies of vaccine.
A further first-dose clinic will be held in July for any remaining under-40’s who wish to have a vaccination, while second doses of Moderna will be given in early September.
