Ashford says it's key to have facility in place throughout rollout
Installing fixed vaccination hub facilities at Ronaldsway hub cost more than temporary pop-up sites like those in the UK.
Health Minister David Ashford says the final costs are still being calculated, but that it was important to have a centre that could remain in place throughout the rollout.
The vaccination hub opens its doors today.
Mr Ashford says it was vital to have the right infrastructure in place:
