A further vaccination clinic is being held this weekend for individuals aged 16 and 17 to receive a Covid-19 vaccine.

The clinic will be open for individuals in this age group to receive the Pfizer vaccine.

It will be held on Sunday, September 5, from 10am to 12pm at Castle Rushen High School.

Those wanting to attend this clinic will need to ensure that they are already registered with 111 before attending and have a confirmed appointment.

Those who arrive and do not have a scheduled appointment will not be vaccinated on the day.

This is to ensure that the team bring the correct amount of vaccine and that there is no wastage.

All attending should bring proof of identification with them.

One dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine is being offered to healthy 16- to 17-year-olds, as advised by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, whose advice the Isle of Man Government follows.

Young people aged 16 to 17 who are household contacts of an immunosuppressed person will be offered two doses of the vaccine in line with the adult rollout and will be invited to register via a letter from their GP.

Additionally, 17-year-olds who are within three months of turning 18 will be offered a second dose appointment, this being confirmed shortly after their first dose.
