Vaccination appointments
Can I book a COVID-19 vaccination?
You cannot currently book a COVID-19 vaccination. For most people, vaccinations are only available seasonally. The COVID-19 vaccination bookings service will reopen when seasonal vaccinations are available.
Who can currently get a COVID-19 vaccine?
Only children aged 6 months to 4 years old who are at increased risk from COVID-19 can currently get a COVID-19 vaccine. If you develop a new health condition or start treatment that severely weakens your immune system, your specialist may advise you that you need an additional vaccine before the autumn.
When can I get my next COVID-19 vaccine?
You may be able to get a seasonal COVID-19 vaccine in autumn 2023 if you’re at increased risk from COVID-19, for example due to a health condition or your age. Manx Care will contact you if your health record suggests you may be eligible.
How can I get a vaccine for my child aged 6 months to 4 years old?
Manx Care have sent letters to parents/carers of eligible children regarding their vaccinations and how to arrange their appointments. If you think your child is eligible because they are at increased risk from COVID-19, and you haven’t received a letter by Wednesday 12 July 2023, please call 111 or email Vaccinations@gov.im.
How can I get an additional vaccine for someone with a severely weakened immune system?
Your medical practitioner will assess whether you need an additional vaccine. They will make a referral and advise on the best timing for vaccination around your planned treatment. Speak to your medical practitioner for more information.
Who is at increased risk from COVID-19?
Some people are at increased risk from COVID-19, for example due to a health condition or their age.
