Ronaldsway Airport’s vaccination hub shut on Sunday nearly six months after it first opened.

With the easing of border restrictions last week, the airport is already seeing an increase in passengers so plans are in place to return it to its primary function.

Health minister David Ashford MHK 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 in Douglas.’

Mr Ashford extended thanks to all who were involved in the airport hub.

Individuals who were or booked in to receive their jab at the airport on July 10, 11, 17 and 18 are being reminded their appointment will now take place at Chester Street.
