Chief Minister to make Covid statement in Tynwald tomorrow

No immediate change in policy expected

The chief minister will make a statement on the current Covid-19 situation in Tynwald tomorrow.

It's in response to the UK's announcement that booster vaccines are being made available to all over 18s.

UK experts claim third jabs offer additional protection against the Omicron variant.

Currently only those aged 45+ have been offered boosters on Island.

A spokesperson says no change in policy is expected.

In the same sitting, Douglas Central MHK, Ann Corlett, will ask the health minister: "By what date all over 18s will have been offered a booster dose of a Covid-19 vaccine; and if he will make a statement?"
