The vaccination hub based at Ronaldsway Airport will close from today.
The opening of the bespoke airport hub back in January ensured patients were vaccinated swiftly, safely and efficiently and to date over 30,000 vaccines have been administered including 16,700 first doses and 13,966 second doses.
More than 50 health and care staff from porters, to community nurses to volunteers have been involved in the daily running of the airport hub.
David Ashford MHK, Minister for Health and Social Care said: ‘With the vaccination programme continuing at pace and over 60% of the adult population having received their second dose, we are at a point in the current programme where the remaining appointments can be completed at Chester Street. It will remain possible to continue as a smaller hub in the future if ever required.
He added: ‘I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone involved in the airport hub, from DOI who created the hub, the booking and admin teams, the vaccinators as well as the volunteers who directed people to the hub in the early days. Our vaccination programme has been a huge success so far, with the airport hub playing a big part in this. I also want to thank the team at the Airport for providing us with this space and am sure they are ready to see the airport back to its full use.’
