Vaccinations: Young people living with vulnerable adults prioritised

Those aged 16 and over living with vulnerable adults on Island will now be prioritised for a Covid-19 vaccine.

It's for those living with people who have weakened immune systems, in line with new UK guidance.

It applies to those with blood cancer, HIV and people on immunosuppressive treatment, such as chemotherapy.

The vaccination programme had prioritised such adults, but hadn't been extended to those living in the same household until now.

Those eligible can now call 111, even if they haven’t received a letter.
