Vaccination exemption now available to 16 and 17 year olds

Thu, 02 Sep 2021

All 16 and 17 year olds who have received at least one vaccination dose are now eligible to arrive in the Isle of Man with no isolation or testing requirements.

The exemption, which applies to residents and non-residents, came into effect today, 2 September 2021, and follows the commencement of the vaccine programme with an initial single dose to this age group.

Adults aged 18 and over are still required to have both doses to access this arrival pathway, where it is the recommended full course.

The Travel and Borders section of the covid.gov.im website has been updated to reflect the revised guidance in relation to 16 and 17 year olds

Those who have turned 17 can apply for an exemption themselves, while applications for 16 year olds must currently be made by a responsible adult. All applications should be made at least three days before travelling.

Once approved, a landing card must be completed within 48 hours of arriving on the Island.
