Government following latest JCVI advice

Additional Covid-19 booster jabs for the most vulnerable are set to be rolled out on the Island soon.

Residents of adult care homes, anyone aged 75 and above and those 12 years and older who are immunosuppressed will be offered the extra dose - no earlier than 24 weeks after their initial booster.

The advice comes from the UK's Joint Commission on Vaccination and Immunisation.

Government says people should not call 111, but wait for further information to be released.
