Sandie Hannay says ';community must be protected'
The first person to be vaccinated on the Isle of Man is encouraging everyone else to do so when the time comes.
Healthcare worker Sandie Hannay volunteered to be the first to receive the Pfizer jab, and got the first of two doses at 9 o clock this morning on War 20 at Noble's Hospital.
She'll get her follow-up three weeks from today, on 25 January.
Sandie highlighted the importance of getting the vaccine to protect the community:
