The autumn booster programme and Covid vaccination for 16- to 49-year-olds not in a clinical risk group will end soon.

On February 24, these will both come to a close, according to Manx Care.

Plans for future programmes for at risk groups are underway and will be announced in due course.

The decision to close the programme has been made following advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) on January 27, 2023.

Manx Care says it strongly advises anyone who is currently eligible who has not yet received their booster vaccine to book an appointment or attend a walk in session before the programme closes.

People can check their eligibility on the government website under ‘vaccine eligibility’.
