Follows 'demanding' phone calls to GP surgeries
People on the Isle of Man are being told not to direct vaccination queries to their doctors.
Instead, they're being asked to do their own research online.
The Department of Health and Social Care claims it follows a number of ‘upsetting phone calls’ from patients ‘demanding answers in an unreasonable way’.
Health and Social Care Minister David Ashford says GP surgeries are extremely busy:
