Island will offer new Moderna vaccine in autumn booster programme

Thu, 18 Aug 2022

Island residents will be offered the new Moderna bivalent COVID vaccine this autumn.

It follows the latest advice from the UK’s Joint Commission of Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).

The new bivalent vaccine targets two different variants of coronavirus– the original strain and the newer Omicron variant, and will be offered to those eligible along with other booster vaccines available.

Manx Care will confirm details on how and when eligible people can receive the autumn booster vaccine in due course – members of the public are being urged not to call 111 until this has been announced.
