Final Covid spring booster sessions for vulnerable

The final drop-in sessions for Covid spring booster vaccination programme are being held this week for those over the age of 75 and other vulnerable groups.

The first of two walk-in sessions takes place from 14:00 until 16:00 BST at the vaccination hub at Noble's Hospital, with the second between 10:00 and 14:00 on Thursday.

Those eligible include people who will have turned 75 by 4 July, care home residents and those who are immunosuppressed over the age of six months.

It marks the end of the 2025 spring booster programme, which was launched in April in line with advice from the UK's Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.

Manx Care said no appointments were needed for either of the sessions.

Calling for those eligible to take up the offer, the health care provider has urged people to "stop by and get vaccinated" to "protect yourself and your loved ones".
